Andrew Junge made a life-sized replica of a Hummer out of hundreds of pieces of styrofoam as a metaphor for consumption and waste



When Andrew Junge began his residency, he was impacted by the amount of Styrofoam that entered the waste stream and decided to make something from this rightfully maligned material that would be a metaphor for consumption and waste—and so the Styrofoam Hummer was born. The life-sized replica of the civilian and military vehicle was constructed from hundreds of pieces of packing material that he formed into blocks, assembled, and hand-shaped.




 It was part of The Art of Recology Exhibition in 2013 in terminal 3 at San Francisco International Airport.https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1260824980777392&set=during-world-war-ii-lockheed-constellations-were-designated-for-use-by-the-milit
