\"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\u2019s 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. \u201cI\u2019m interested in how material can carry emotion and presence,\u201d she says. \u201cA lot of what I make starts from personal experience, but I hope it opens space for others to reflect, too.\u201d<\/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. \u201cI was searching for a way to build with clay that felt more fluid and intuitive,\u201d she tells Colossal. \u201cWhen I started using piping bags, I loved the immediacy and texture\u2014it felt like drawing in space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the works shown here are included in Russell\u2019s current solo exhibition, Frivolous, <\/em>at Martin Browne Contemporary<\/a> in Sydney, which continues through June 21. Find more on the artist\u2019s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>. (via PAN<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n
