I've always liked sugar cubes. I like the fact that the sugar is already precisely measured out into one teaspoon increments and pressed into a precise geometric shape. I like the perfect cube cubes best, much better than the squat, unpredictable rectangular ones. On my last trip to Hiroshima I managed to keep a friend's two year old busy by stacking little towers of wrapped sugar cubes and knocking them over. So, they're both a toy and a sweetener. Were I to keep a sugar bowl, it would be filled with sugar cubes only.



So, today's project honors sugar cubes and their complex inner lives, appropriately enough on a white ceramic sugar bowl.
