Roll of the Dice: junkfood land


rolled: archtecture, collage,emphasis

i wanted to portray an out-there snack world created by my boredom in study hall while counting down the time for lunch....i was really hungry.


For the collage element in this piece i decided to use a bunch of diffrent snack foods, candies, and other food themed items, alas fate proved not to be on my side when i discovered most of what i wanted to use as my materials had been accidentally thrown away on me. so i used basically just dorito chips (nacho cheese and cool ranch)for the spikes on the sun and the stones for the path, fritos were used to stand like randomly placed weeds growing throughout the landscape, and i used twizzlers to pipe up the sprring wire supports of the sun.

The archetecture element in this project is the wire springs used to support my happy dorito sun(which is constructed out of two half sphered pieces of floral foam pinned together),which is my element of emphasis.

This piece is at the momment still needing a lot of work, i still want to add some more twizzlers to the wires, maybe some peeps marshmellow chicks (they'll be the edible residents :D), sprinkles for gravel (help distract the audience from all the green), candy accents for the bushes (will seem like berries..or something), and i still need to comeplete covering up the base of the wires and the electrical tape.

I like it. It makes me smile, even if it isn't finished. Your use of material items is...interesting, however, I only have one question. How in the WORLD did you get those doritos to stick in the styrofoam without breaking them (or eating them)?

Interesting, can't wait to see the end result. I hope that with the added items, it will bring more emphasis onto the sphere.

It's been fun watching you making this and wondering where in the world you're going with it, even if the smell of the Doritos made me hungry. Your ideas for finishing it up are krunk, and I do want to see it when it's done.

ps. Thanks for pointing out to me how to turn my piece up-side-down & making the peacock truly be a peacock.
