What is this?
This is my Christmas tree made for the city Christmas Trees Event.
I used potatos and cocktail straws to build this art object.
Why potatos? Because this is my style.

"Why potatos? How did you come to this idea?"
"Well, this is my style. I like working with the live materials. A month ago I did some decorating works, and been asked to create something special with using potatos. Then I created the potatos modules and used them for the table flower centerpieces. I thought that the construction units could be a cool idea for building the other objects. So I gave it a try, and here is the Christmas tree." |
