Bread Bandits

Action #4

March 19, 2000

Bread sculpture in front of the barn at Cherry Hill Park, Falls Church, VA.

Bread Bandits Action #4 produced a long, thin sculpture in Cherry Hill Park, Falls Church, Virginia, using the bread from Action #3. We arrived in the park at 9:30 am on March 19, 2000. The sculpture was a flat line of bread 5 slices wide by approximately 72 slices long--probably 24 feet by 20 inches--starting at the exterior wall of Cherry Hill's barn and descending a small hill. It created a white field that contrasted nicely with the green hill and old gray wooden barn of the park. So far, the most beautiful bread sculpture. While we played on the nearby seasaw, a bold squirrel stole and ate a piece of bread, foreshadowing the sculptures' fate. One couple came by during construction and asked about the sculpture; they're response was pleasant and positive. View other photos from Bread Bandits Action #4.
