In an attempt to create an architectural monument, I used ‘rice krispies treats,’ as my unconventional material of choice. By heating it in the microwave for a couple of seconds, I melted the marshmallow combining the different fragments into one block. It then hardened to form a solid structure that I was able to carve. I wanted to transform the stark edges into gentle curves that would represent a fluid movement of lines. From every angle, the monument appears to be different and creates a rhythmic flow. I enjoyed the mouldable nature of the material as well as the ability to chisel it and transfigure it with my own artistic ability.
