Sweet Candy Carpet in China
The colorful carpet stretched in the street of China, this patterned artwork created by Craig & Karl with the 13 tons of sweet candy pieces and nearly 14,000-square-feet. This candy carpet displays a variety of symbology and iconography - from blooming flowers, which symbolize good luck to stylized pandas. The candy expanse stretches 607 feet long by 23 feet wide - small squares are filled with single-colored confections, established in a grid formation that has been used the create and execute the artwork overall. More than 2,000 volunteers meticulously assembled the entire piece by hand in just over five days.
