In Search of the Center: Buying Props for the Clemson Workshop

Buying Props for the Clemson Workshop

Our workshop with the Clemson University art department is three fold. It will entail taking a walk with complete strangers for 30 minutes, Erwin Wurm inspired One Minute Sculptures, and it will end with a secret. On the way to school today, Nancy and I saw a magnificent yard sale which produced the following props.

We somehow managed to pack them and ship them overnight within 45 minutes. I just happened to run into a Fed-Ex truck at the loading dock who waited for us while we ran to my office to retrieve the box. I believe I see a cake container in that stash!
