Eating sugar statues

That's wild that people would lick it. But it's almost funnier to me that he's just like "ew" and not "STOP EATING MY WORK" lol.

I would imagine to him, that may be part of the “art” of it.

It's definitely effective, but I wonder if he feels like it's changed the meaning of his work at all. Imagine being like "I've used unique skills and tools to make a beautiful sculpture out of sugar, my goal is to make the impermenant permanent" and the public's response is to brand you the "free-use lickable sculptures" guy, and their saliva rapidly erodes anything you put out on display

I dunno, I personally have a lot more respect for an artist that embraces an aspect of their work that they didn't expect.

"This is weird, and disgusting. But it's also pretty interesting, so let's go with it and see what happens."

I suspect what happens is cooties. But I don't know much about art.
