Theta Tau

Theta Tau

3rd Place

Materials Used:
Paper mache, chicken wire, tissue paper, paint, 2'x4's, clothes, socks, flip flops, straw hat, sunglasses, Hawaiian leis, umbrellas, sunscreen bottle

Artists' Statement:
Many companies are dealing with the economic crisis by requiring employees to take a week of leave without compensation. Alec's employer has requested that he take a M.U.L.A. (Mandatory unpaid leave of absence). He decided to hit the beach with the crazy college kids on spring break, keeping an eye out for the engineering students and ensuring that they wear their sunscreen! He hopes to improve his tan since the fluorescent lights in the library aren't doing the trick!
