Compression Repression


As a food, the marshmallow situates its purpose within the body, however, it also appears to be a pillowy and soft textile. Draped over the pine spine, the weight of the marshmallow compresses the elasticity of the timber. The form of the marshmallow suggests comfort however the mechanics of the structure indicate the corporeal structure is under duress. Excess lengths of marshmallows accumulate in folds around the base of the structure. The security blanket is slipping—it is no longer required.
