Hong Yi, a Malaysian artist-architect that goes by the nickname ‘Red’, is an artist that is quickly mastering almost every medium that she comes across.
 
Her materials are unconventional, often times temporary, but always brilliantly crafted into stunning works. Born and raised in Malaysia Red later attended a university in Australia, where she would soon find work at an architecture firm located in Shanghai. A special city to Red, it was the home of her grandparents until the ’60s, it was at that time they would ultimately move to Malaysia. It was here that Red began experimenting with very unique materials in her work.
 
Below is a small example of Red’s recent work with food. All the materials used are completely edible. It’s just one of the latest avenues that the artist has begun to explore. Her previous works includes so many great works, in a much larger scale, and shouldn’t be missed.
