Luzia Vogt, Sugar-box, porselein, marmer
Luzia Vogt is fascinated by sugar, both as a foodstuff and a source of pleasure. Once an expensive luxury from the colonies, sugar is now cheap and abundantly available. Luzia literally uses sugar as a material, carving sugar beets which she transforms into porcelain boxes, with Carrara marble lids that glisten like sugar. She also makes Zuckerblumen - snow-white plastic brooches based on granulated sugar with forms that are either severe or fanciful and energetic.
