Candice Low Jello


For the material alchemy project, I wanted to explore the source of a material, as opposed to recycling it. Material alchemy makes me think of cooking, and what better example of material alchemy than jello? It turns from powder into a wobbly something, which somehow we've come to accept as normal, and tasty. By putting the jello box into the jello, I wanted to create something absurd and remind us of the very mysterious alchemy behind jello. Moreover, Dan devouring it with only a knife shows how absurd alchemy has become an acceptable form of creating food which is apparently irresistible.
