If there was ever a wall that was just begging to be licked, it would be one that was artistically transformed by Shelley Miller. Forget about the Jaffa Cakes lickable wallpaper, Shelley Miller's amazing street murals are made out of sugar icing.
Living and working in Montreal, Canada, where she received her Master of Fine Arts from Concordia University, Shelley Miller is a unique installation artist. Using edible blue paint on white sugar tiles, she pieces her works of art on outdoor walls using icing as glue. Keeping her materials in mind, Shelley Miller's pieces can last mere hours, days or even months. Through her work, she explores the impermanence of objects due to time, weather and historical authenticity.
