Australian artist Joseph Marr is combining candy and art in a way you have probably never seen before. Although he works in all kind of different art forms, Marr specializes in making sculptures entirely made of sugar including those representing anatomically perfect constructions of the human body.
“For me, Sugar made into human Objects is a useful metaphor for the attachments we make with Desire in our lives,” the artist says on his website. “The attraction of Sugar, the color, the surface, the stickiness, the energy source all point towards the predicament of being human.”
In order to create his sculptures, Marr needs to melt sugar on a 366.8°F (186°C), and then has a really small window in which he can work before the liquid sugar hardens. Knowing this, his already fascinating sculptures become even more remarkable.
