Shrine to the Burger

Description

This was my "found object" piece for my Sculpture I class. The entire awning and back wall was made out of shingled fry containers. Hanging from the edges of the awning are lid covers that are held up by yarn the I ran through a couple of straws that acted as a support for the awning. In the center of the shrine, a Big Mac box is supported by two large drink cups that are surrounded by ketchup packets. And yes, that's a real burger in there (and it's as hard as a rock). The gate is made of straws held together with nails (I should've used toothpicks...) and the stairs are two folded fry containers. The whole thing is nearly two feet tall.

I was really happy with this because it actually came out bigger and better than I had first imagined it. Of course, after the critique of it in my sculpture class, my professor said to me what he ALWAYS says to me which is, "If you'd just take it one step further..."

He uses that line for ALL of my projects. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Grr. Makes me angry. I think I'm gonna' go pray to the burger.
