build a sculpture

Whenever I go camping or something, I often take the styrofoam plates and plastic utensils and connect them. Whether it be through stacking, or piercing, they will form a sculpture in the end. It’s probably more fun than worthwhile, but it also let’s me see my stacking skills in full view.

Come to think of it, I guess one of the things I want to do with my life is “stack stuff”.

I did something off the list!!! Okay, I actually just made this from several erector sets but since I’m in my twenties I chose to consider it art before someone else labels my effort as something else (i.e. insanity). It took me several hours but I’d never worked with an erector set before. I had to bend the shit out of the pieces to get them to come together the way I wanted. And to think this thing was supposed to be a farm tractor… ALL THOSE KIDS ARE SUCKERS!!!

I started with a small block of wood and a set of wood chisels bought last week from a store called pawnsmart. It ended several minutes later when I somehow jammed my thumb between the wood and hammer creating a tiny yet painful blood blister. Can you consider this a sculpture? Please? It is very conceptual
