Items related to A Cautionary Tale: A Sugar Queen’s Journey
From two of the strongest and most outspoken women artists working today comes a collaborative comic book loosely based on the history of sugar. This comic book is part of a larger, ongoing project started in 2006, titled Madonnas, Queens and Other Heroes, by Australian artist political commentator Geraldine Searles and Swiss artist Marlies Pekarek. Searles took Pekarek 3D sugar sculpture entitled Sugar Queen, scanned it into a digital file, then created a fantastic story and surrounding scenery to give the Sugar Queen a new context and a new journey. The cross cultural friendship of the collaborators began when Pekarek was studying art in Australia more than two decades ago.

Review:
'A Cautionary Tale is an enchanting and unique work of art blending the form of an experimental artist's book with the sequentiality of a comic strip. This whimsical yet cogent visual narrative features a scanned-in sugar sculpture as the protagonist who interacts with hand-drawn characters and scenes in an adventure which spans thousands of years of history, mythology and politics.' Mark Staff Brandl, PhD
