46. Stealing

It was difficult to part with my good friend and thought
it might be appropriate to steal it back. 

45. selling

I finally soled my piece to a good friend for a dollar. 

44. Eating Utensil

Although the stick could not be bought as food
it was rather good at being a vessel of food to mouth
Fancy way of saying fork. 

43. Attempt to buy

So I attempted to buy the art 
but it really didn't belong in a grocery store
and although it blended in nicely with the meat
here it has confidence going down 
but with lack of any recognizable food qualities 
it was denied.

42. Disguising

Here we see the stick i mean hardly see the stick
in a very unnatural environment 

41. Contrast

As you can see the stick made it from it's home to the grocery store safely 
more importantly the apples allow the stick to show itself off, similar to the plumage of a bird
against a grassy field. NOt only do the colors in this image show contrast but their is also a contrast in location, the art object seems out of place, but then again don't apples come from trees?

40. Traveling


Here we see the art object moving from one location it's more natural habitat the sculpture building to another more foreign location not yet disclosed. 

38/39. Balance/Stuck in ground

In my defense. 
1. what is the action in which it was placed?
shoved into ground.
2. What is the action used to allow me to take it's photo?
maneuvering it into such a place that it was balanced. 
Something such as the stick can be manipulated in many ways
as this blog is trying to show
So two actions equals two processes thus 38/39
i think it may also be teetering (pun not intended) on a /40
since it does make a lovely sculpture in this photo but i won't push
my luck. 

37. Burying (tucking in)

Good night little stick friend.

29. Dipping

Hot wax such a nice color

28. Throwing

It fly's through the air with the greatest of ease

27. Mending

Another true story,
I broke it again, a little while later
I;ll point it out, 
but the first mend was a lot easier
the second men
i ended up trying to glue it to a nail
for some reason hot glue and nails
don't mix?

26. Breaking


A true story, 
that was really hard to break, 
so i sawed most of the way through it and then hit it on the 
bike rack. 

25. Securing/wine-ding

It is secure, and by it i mean the pointy piercing piece of stick.

The water was extra cold and the sawdust was extra clingy but the girl persevered.
