CANgsta's Paradise<\/p><\/div>\n

I made the trek over to Battery Park to check out Canstruction<\/a> in the WFC Winter Garden<\/a>. Throughout the shopping mall, there are can sculptures of different themes. The sculptures are on display for two weeks and then donated to charity for use.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Can Mario 1-UP Hunger?<\/p><\/div>\n

A giant Mario, presumably about to eat the mushroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mario face close-up<\/p><\/div>\n

A close-up of his face, full of beans.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Paper Mario<\/p><\/div>\n

Paper Mario. Get it? Aww, nevermind…<\/p>\n

\"\"

Paint the Town "Fed"<\/p><\/div>\n

On the other side, “Give” was written in blue.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Don't Let Hunger Spill<\/p><\/div>\n

This was hard to guess without reading the description. It’s the southern portion of the US affected by the BP oil spill.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I think I 'Can'<\/p><\/div>\n

MTA fielding an entry? This is a good cause, so the more cans donated to City Harvest, the better.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Candard Hotel, New York<\/p><\/div>\n

Like! The High Line Park<\/a> as depicted in can form. Not entirely visible is The Standard Hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

FEASTer Island<\/p><\/div>\n

This Moai<\/a> was very photogenic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Cups Can Only Spill<\/p><\/div>\n

Nice, simple sculpture.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Tomato Tornado<\/p><\/div>\n

This tornado was by SOM<\/a>. Sorry about the yellow cones in all the photos :(<\/p>\n

\"\"

It's a Hit (to Hunger)!<\/p><\/div>\n

Cue all the children yelling, “You sunk my battleship!”<\/p>\n

\"\"

Battleships close-up<\/p><\/div>\n

A close up of the nitty gritty: Modern Naval Can Warfare.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mr. Potato Head<\/p><\/div>\n

The aptly named, Mr. Potato Head. Maybe next year, someone will attempt a Mr. Pita Bread Head<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Building Blocks Against Hunger<\/p><\/div>\n

Building Blocks? AKA Legos<\/p>\n

\"\"

A-Salt on Hunger<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s not immediately obvious what this one represents. If I understand correctly, it’s two individuals hugging each other – representing opposites (black and white). This was made with Evaporated milk cans and Hershey’s syrup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
