Artist Statement
I chose to make an intricate pattern out of candy. We don’t necessarily contemplate that candy comes in lots of bright colors, many interesting textures and three-dimensional shapes, but it does. And, we all know candy tastes good! It makes us happy, joyful, and reminds us of being kids once upon a time.
After I made two separate patterns with pieces of candy, I combined the two patterns to create a wallpaper design. I liked the use of an everyday, unexpected material like candy to become the focal point of a decorative item such as wallpaper.
