    The artwork, entitled Stroke, involves an entire room coated in chocolate which visitors are allowed to touch and even taste.

    40kg of dark Swiss chocolate was used to cover the walls at the Jupiter Artland sculpture park near Edinburgh.

    The idea of a chocolate room is really fantastic, or fabulous, in a certain very specific kind of Willy Wonka way – this space is not that at all. But to me it kind of gets into your nose, it kind of triggers memory in a different way."

    She said the art piece could be “purely sensual, social, maybe political depending on your relationship to food, to chocolate, to pleasure”.

    “The idea of a chocolate room is one thing and the reality of a chocolate room is very much something else.”
