Every year, people watch this giant pen from this giant pen remotely

John Higgins likes to think like a pencil six-meter-long pencil pop art.

“When you think of Pop art, you think of Andy Warhol or Claes Oseenberg. I want to say that they are engaged. They take a simple object and colors, and it is a simple object in shape and colors,” he said, ” Quite Guest host Stephanie Skenderis.

“This is exactly what.”

The mass piece of pop art once a year becomes an interactive society. Hundreds of or sometimes even thousands of people sharpen the giant pen, sharpen the giant pen and allow the house in the HigginoPolis in Minneapolis.

“It’s fun. He is a joy. I don’t agend. It’s not a commercial event. There is no ticket or something,” said Higgins. “But with the word mouth, I think people are coming and they really have fun.”

The giant pen was once a giant tree

He noted the fourth annual pencil sharpening incident on Saturday. But the origin of the statue, suddenly and strong wind storms hit the city, and when the Higgins came through the front of his beloved Oak tree, until 2017.

The tree says about 180 years old.

“It was very difficult to see this happened,” he said. “It’s very sad, I will say.”

The storm remembers the trunk of the rubble between the wreckage of the rubble as a result of the wreckage.

“It looked so much, you know, almost bad – just above and looked like a kind, type, type, broken skeleton.”

Thus, He and his wife Amy Higgins decided to turn it into art. Wooden sculptor Curtis Ingvoldstad noted that the classic reliable brand № 2 pen to the replica of the pen.

“Why a pencil? Everyone uses a pen,” he said. “Everyone knows a pencil. You see this in school, which you see in the work or drawings. So it’s so accessible for everyone and can do something and do something easily.”

“This,” Higgins, “and” Higgins, which weighs four feet of great (and) hundred pounds. “We raise this and turn it several times and pushed the pen.”

‘Life is too short’ to miss the sharpness

But during the years, he says that the word of mouth and social media. Last year he says about 1,000 people attended. This year, the people estimate that many thousands of people, from the state and even other countries.

Some people dressed as a pen or deletion. Two Swiss Alporn player provided part of the entertainment. Hosts, what will happen in the age of 67, the prince of the late music, the Prince of the Super Star, and the Prince of the late Music Ando.

Rachel Hyman said he flew on Friday for a friend from Chicago to him on Friday.

“Some are the exacerbation of the pen in the lawn, and that is this?” Hyman dressed in a pen suit on Saturday. “Yes, I will be part of it. How can you not do? Life is too short.”

Ritual victim

You can think of a huge statue of a pencil, even why you need to exacerbate a giant statue. Higgins, even if the granite lead is made of lead, wears through the year through the year.

However, basically, he says for symbolism.

“This is a society pencil. There is a word to write a new start, new start, update, update,”. “People love this message.”

The pencil with each cutter and loses part of the artwork. , Sculptor says it is a whole moment.

“As any ritual, you have to sacrifice anything,” said England, “Thus, we will sacrifice part of the pen, which we can give to the audience.

So how long have been a little kiosk with a shiny pink eraser? So what will happen?

“We do not have a response and we are good,” he said. “But we will take our best for the moment today and will do the best.”
