This is a series of lamps I made. This is a Bento box lamp it's sort of a plastic rice lamp it's very friendly.

I reframe that as a positive because the crazier I get onstage, the more entertaining I become.

Because you've got to include the man who grew the coffee, which was brewed for the man who was on the oil rig, who was drilling for oil, which was going to be made into the plastic, etc.

At the end of this process, we have a mixed plastic composite many different types of plastics and many different grades of plastics.

I was asked by Wilsonart International, a plastic laminate company, which is the largest plastic laminate company in the world they asked me to design a trade show booth for exhibition at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, in 2000.

For example, for all the TEDTalks around food, someone summed this up into Food shaping body, brains and environment, which I think is pretty good.

I turn them into two and three dimensional pieces and sculptures and installations.
