Martijntje Cornelia

For the exhibition Chilling in a Box in 2015, Martijntje Cornelia has done intensive experimental research with Cotton Candy and analyzing the reactions of the material to the different conditions. For instance, draping cotton candy on a wire to see if the cotton candy connects to other materials, using air to see if it’s possible to levitate a piece of cotton candy, or putting cotton candy in an airtight, glass container to see if and how cotton candy changes.

People could experience this experimental journey at the Dutch Design Week through a movie that shows the ephemeral life of the material. Next to this they could also see and touch Martijntje her translation of levitated cotton candy into jewellery design.
