Taygan Crapo Appleton

Gold Topaz Sculpture.  In a large graceful sweep, this one of a kind sculpture measures 18 x 12 x 11 cm. 

The Silk Series was inspired by the artist's mother with whom she made candies and chocolates. Realizing the viscosity of molten sugar is similar to molten glass, Taygan has developed the form since 2014 by pulling the glass repeatedly, as one pulls taffy candy.
