These sculptures are making me thirsty

"Hexen Haus" 2004. Gingerbread, and bread.
Australian born sculpture artist Timothy Horn is the coolest. In 2004 he built a 6f by 5ft by 5 ft sculpture called Hexen Haus. It was built in upstate NY and made of gingerbread and bread! Who doesn’t love bread? But it gets better. Last summer he had an exhibit at the San Fransisco De Young Museum entitled Bitter Suite, inspired by Alma Spreckels .
Timothy Horn created these incredibly intricate crystallized sugar sculptures for Bitter Suite. After seeing the pictures, I’m pretty sure Timothy Horn is not so much a sculpture artist as some sort of Australian wizard genius king who can take rock-candy from juvenile to classy as hell.
