Edible Art: Intricate sugar sculptures by Kristiane Kegelmann are too beautiful to eat

Speaking of her unique work, Kristiane said: "As a food designer I am interpreting the patisserie in a completely new and unrestrained format. With my sculptures and performative installations I want to question the rigid ties of the patisserie and then incorporate such discoveries into an artistic context. Do edible pieces always have to be consumed the same way? Do these persistently have to have an equal, unmistakeable outward appearance?

"Nowadays the aesthetics and the ambience are strongly focused on the sense of taste. Inspired by specific Sujets, I evolve individual creations into edible installations, drawing on traditional and new flavour compositions with natural and aromatic ingredients. I aim to enliven the composed experience from the endless sensory and visual combinations. My installation concept and execution involves a synergy of colours, shapes, fancy textures and exceptional flavour constitutions."

Kristiane will be exhibiting during Berlin Art Week this month at Kurt-Kurt gallery in Berlin. To find out more about her work, visit www.kristianekegelmann.com.
