Play With Food, Pt. 2


 Sometimes it's interesting to abstract food shapes into places you've been. For example, this is the mudflats along the Wisconsin River c.1965. I picked up a piece of driftwood shaped like a saxophone, although I'm not sure I'd ever seen a saxophone. Maybe a caricature on a cartoon. Anyway, I had this piece of driftwood. It curved around like an elephant tusk, or bull's horn. That's it. It looked more like a longhorn than a saxophone. Anyway, I carried it home and kept it for who knows how many years. For all I know it's still there somewhere amid the junk, the detritus of childhood. I wonder how it got that shape.
