Sweet thing

I worked with sugar a lot in 1st year, melting it down and experimenting with casting with it, and dripping it over objects. This was my final resolved piece, melted sugar poured through a grate which was attached to the wall. I'm interested mainly in the texture of this caramel, and it's ability to almost defy gravity and hold it's liquid forms as a solid. The grate was about 3 metres high off the floor, and some of the golden droplets stretched right down till they almost touched the floor, and dried in that place.

Collected sugar dripped onto the ground
