Sculptor Chipping Away At 5,000 Pound Bag Of Chips

Brooklyn, NY (WFN) -- A sculptor's new project is all that and a bag of chips -- literally.

Robin Antar, who sculpts life-like items out of stone, is working on a new project to turn 5000 pounds of marble into a bag of potato chips.

In the past, Antar has carved a stone York Peppermint Pattie, a pair of Diesel jeans and a marble bag of Oreo cookies which she claims someone chipped a tooth on when they tried to take a bite out of it.

She says she sculpts American icons because she wants to record them in history -- but it's also to fool people into believing her art is real.

Antar claims she puts on about five pounds when she starts a new project because she has to open up a bunch of bags of food to use as models to get the creases right on her finished work.

She sells her life-size or monumental-sized works to companies who commission her or, in her words, "someone who has a fetish."
