CANSTRUCTION 2008

This morning I helped judge the sculptures created from cans of food at the Columbus College of Art & Design. There were a total of nine creations that were incredibly, and edibly, crafted from a total of 22,000 pounds of food. I stayed for the kickoff celebration for Operation Feed, a program of the Mid-Ohio FoodBank. I was asked to help present the awards to the teams that assembled the structures.

The team that received the Juror's Choice Award was made from 6,800 cans of tuna. It looked amazingly like a piggy bank and was very well crafted. All of the creations were great and it's too bad we couldn't give each of the teams a prize. These structures take a great deal of effort to plan, design, and construct. I congratulate all of the teams for a job well done. See you soon.
