\"Piped<\/p>\n

Piping clay with bakery tools, Ebony Russell<\/a> creates a range of delectable vessels in a prism of colors. <\/p>\n

Russell’s practice is founded in both the relationship between form and function and the nature of the vessel itself as a container for memory and gesture. “I\u2019m interested in how material can carry emotion and presence,” she says. “A lot of what I make starts from personal experience, but I hope it opens space for others to reflect, too.”<\/p>\n

Intrigued by the aesthetics and process of cakes, the Australian artist originally focused on sculptural motifs like bride-and-groom or ballerina toppers, but the icing itself gradually emerged as a focus. “I was searching for a way to build with clay that felt more fluid and intuitive,” she tells Colossal. “When I started using piping bags, I loved the immediacy and texture\u2014it felt like drawing in space.”<\/p>\n

Some of the works shown here are included in Russell’s current solo exhibition, Frivolous, <\/em>at Martin Browne Contemporary<\/a> in Sydney, which continues through June 21. Find more on the artist’s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>. (via PAN<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n
