Kara Walker – A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby
80 tons of sugar were used to create Kara Walker’s sugar Sphinx, otherwise known as the Marvelous Sugar Baby.
Creative Time commissioned Walker to create the sculpture in Brooklyn’s defunct Domino Sugar Factory. The sculpture is enormous in scale, grand and elegant. The core is made of styrofoam, coated with many layers of a water and sugar paste.
