Artist Creates A ‘Sweet’ Art Installation Using Toffee

By John Yong, 05 Jun 2012

When people hear the word ‘toffee’, most of them will associate it with the delightful sugary treat that you pop in your mouth—however, artist Skye Kelly sees it as a delightful medium to use in her sugary art installation.

Her installation piece titled ‘Creep (Strain)’ comprises of an overhead fixture that drips sticky gooey toffee—forming crystalize toffee puddles on the floor.

The concept behind her installation is the evolving nature of the toffee as it turns from a warm liquid to toffee crystals—allowing the audience to study the constant change of its appearance and form.

Is this art? Or dessert?
