Recent Review of Sugarcraft in UR Chicago Magazine

Fulton Market Art Walkin'
Two West Loop art exhibits contribute to the rising bohmemian aesthetic
by Drake Baer
 
'At the corner of Fulton Market and Aberdeen is a lovely row of galleries, including Kasia Kay and Linda Warren. 'Sugarcraft' at Kasia Kay is an effervescent collection lovingly curated by Wynter Whiteside. It features the work of dozens of artists, from beautiful cake to 'sugar prints' to artisan plushies — and a whole lot of pink.

The show nails a certain pop style, vibrant and unpretentious. Mark Seaman’s titanic wedding cake rules over the exhibition, a sculpture in fructose. One interesting dynamic in the show is the role of femininity and feminism: the 'sugar, spice and everything nice' of soft-serve sculpture greeting the visitor at the door contrasts with the edge of other pieces, including a self-referential, ironic board game with landing a husband as the goal.
