The Float mobiles are an interpretation of the traditional cotton candies. A YouTube video on “How to make cotton candies” was the inspiration – a woman in her kitchen improvising tools and techniques for making cotton candies. She shows the fun and joy of this process as she coils sugar threads into colorful fluffy sweets. The Float mobiles were made using an improvised home-made “industrial” machine that coils thread around a pole to create the weights for the mobiles.
