Sugar Sugar curated by Megan Fizell
This chocolate installation of brightly coloured flowers is inspired by the talking character flowers in Alice in Wonderland - Through the looking glass. Particular flowers featured in the garden, some with whom Alice met and talked with included tiger lilies, roses, daisies, dahlias, irises, pansies and daffodils. These forms became the starting point from which I explored the fantastic saturated colour on chocolate that creates such a contradictory dialogue between the familiar, the expected and the super real.
Exhibition from 1 - 19 October 2013
This exhibition will feature contemporary art made exclusively with sugar by ten female artists. By embodying the ephemeral nature of the substance, many of the installations will only last for the duration of the exhibition.
