Food Can Mandala
We saw Mary Campbell’s ephemeral Food Can Mandala on Saturday: 700+ cans of food, arranged for just one afternoon in a surprisingly photogenic and jewel-like mandala. (In the Parish Hall of the Unitarian Church of Staten Island.)
A balcony provided a good birds-eye view. (I took the two photos above; Campbell’s final version with additional canned food contributions is shown on right)
Then, as promised, the Food Can Mandala was “swept away” destined for several Staten Island food banks. (Click photos for closeup views)
See Diane Matyas’s time-lapse video of its dismantling, below…
There will be another Food Can Mandala—(smaller, but of longer duration)—at Campbell’s Wagner College Gallery exhibit from 10/6/10–11/06/10.
