Just like any cake decorator would, Montreal-based artist Shelley Miller uses sugar icing to create delicate patterns of lines, shapes, and flowers. The one main difference with Miller, though, is that she’s not baking cakes. Miller is an installation artist who creates many of her intricate artworks outside. She uses edible blue paint on white sugar tiles, and then affixes the tiles on to the walls with icing. Yum!

In much of her art, Miller explores the unpredictable impermanence of objects in relation to time, weather, and historical authenticity. By sculpting in public, outdoor spaces, her installations could last for hours, days, or weeks. Some may last for months while others could just as easily wash away in the rain the very same day they are made.

As each outdoor sculpture decays over time and the pieces begin to fade away, her work directly investigates memory and history. Miller’s project is described as a “retelling of history, and an exploration into how juxtaposed and/or omitted images can greatly modify interpretation, not unlike the construction and destruction of memory and history itself.”

Visit My Modern Metropolis to view more photos of Shelley Miller’s awesome icing art.

If we ever encounter one of Shelley’s pieces in person we cannot promise that we won’t at least attempt to lick it. Could you resist the temptation?

I have only cut and fold some letters today, so I let Tilly and Gul perform instead. A year ago, I was folding and cuting out the story of them and I knew nothing about where I would be and what I was doing about one year. And now I am here, a year older and I still cuting. It is strange in some way :)

This beautiful typographic poster made of folded paper was designed and constructed by Montreal-based designers Kyosuke Nishida, Brian Li and Dominic Liu for the Words Can Fly A Thousand Miles Project. The piece shows a number of origami cranes bursting through the surface of carefully crafted type.

My father is an archeologist and some of my family hunts, so we always have random antlers around the house. Now I know what to do with them: make a fabulous hat rack or jewelry display! I could do without the paint and just go for a more naturalistic look. But I like it nonetheless.
