Thematic/contextual information
This sculpture began from thinking about why people glorify notions of sweetness and lightness by exaggerating the packaging of a butterscotch-flavoured Angel Delight sachet. I wanted to play the idea that you can sell angelic qualities through a packet of sugar by creating an alternative stained glass window or religious hanging.
