During her stay in Australia 1992-1994, Marlies Pekarek got to know the comic artist Geraldine Searles. A friendship formed and the two artists discovered that, while their pictorial language differed significantly, the choice of their motifs was very similar. The comic 'A Cautionary Tale' takes Marlies Pekarek's sugar sculpture the Sugar Queen on a journey. Geraldine Searles created an adventurous tale around the scanned-in 3D sculpture. The Sugar Queen is taken from her original context and begins a new life as a comic protagonist. Text in English, German and French.

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
