Gooey sculpture

The long, caramel-golden strings in this art-installation are, in fact, stretched-out, gooey, semi-molten sugar. The 'strings' drip occasionally, due to the heat of the lights. As you can imagine, the smell in the gallery-space is wonderful: like a fudge factory…

The piece is being displayed at the Staffordshire University Fine Art Degree Show, where there is the usual mix of the weird and the frankly baffling.

The story behind this piece is interesting though. Hannah Golding, the artist, is intolerant to many foods; and sugar is one food that is safe for her to eat. (Well, as safe as sugar ever is).

The Degree Show ends on Saturday.
