Market Day

This isn't a very clear picture, so when I take a new, better one, I'll replace it.

This is a sculpture I made in Leslie Stalter's 3-D Design class.  It's called "Market Day" because I think it looks like an African village woman going to market with a basket on her head.

The assignment was to take an object and re-interpret it any way we liked. I used small cardboard circles that they put pizzas on before they place them in the to-go boxes. My friend Tonia, at Leo's Pizza gave me a stack of them --- and I cut them down into ever smaller and smaller circles, and then stacked and glued them together. Next I poked black peppercorns and black beans into the holes along the edges of the corrugated cardboard. The object I was re-interpreting was this pepper-mill.
