Men do not like to admit their weaknesses, especially when it comes to something that does not fit with the image of a serious and strong defender and breadwinner. For example, about love for melodramas with happy ends, or riding on carousels, or, here, about a sweet tooth. Australian sculptor Timothy HornHowever, he does not hide his love for desserts. One of his exhibitions called Bitter Suite, which took place a couple of years ago, is dedicated to sweets. Like the forehead of another artist, Timothy Horn from time to time tries his hand at new materials, looks for new images and forms, and sometimes finds his inspiration where he did not expect to meet him at all. For example, in a sugar bowl. So, all the sculptures, which, however, are not so many in the Bitter Suite project, are made of crystallized sugar, although not without the help of other materials: wood and metal.
The huge sculptures presented by the author are the carriage of a fairy princess and two giant lamps, which can only be seen in museums and philharmonic halls. It seems that the figures are made of some kind of rocks, like rock crystal, but no - it's just sugar …
Now Timothy Horn has been living for a long time not in Australia, but in the town of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he continues to engage in his unusual creativity. By the way, you can have a look at the work of the master by visiting his website.
