Lick My LEDS! update 2 from Durham

Update from Durham

As any SUV drivin Dad with a two year old knows, hard candy lollypops melt into a sticky gooey mess. When stuck to the carpet under the seat for several weeks before being discovered, not very welcoming. I'm not that Dad. I didn't think my candy installation would melt away as much as it did. And it looks amazing. The sticky flavored and colored sugar is slowly adding a whole new dimension to Lick My LEDs!
Philly Markowitz, at the Durham Art Gallery is kindly taking care of my installation during the exhibition. Her reports and photos have been a pleasure to receive as I fretted about it all from 2400 kms away. This week I made and shipped off a whole new batch of lollies to replace the melted ones. Two more weeks to go.

melting.....

progress in Durham

Debugged my circuits and got everything going towards the final step, casting some new lollies and installing them. Lickin good!



The local folks have been very generous to us. Durham is a small town almost rural but just enough city to make us feel at home.
