Realistic Sugar Sculptures by Joseph Marr
Joseph Marr born 1979 is an Australian artist of English/Maori heritage who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He is known for his anatomically perfect sugar constructions of the human body that explore issues of desire and mortality.
Working with sugar is wonderful and difficult. Its so colourful and textural, having similarities to paint. But then there is the temperature which is firstly dangerous but also it drops so quickly which influences the viscosity, so I find myself having to work really quickly to get what I need. Its a sensory overload, the smell, the colour, the heat and the honey like movement… its sharp like glass and smooth like Marble and at the same time rough like concrete… unpredictable.
