Wonder No More

Loaf of Wonder Why. Seward Neighborhood, Minneapolis, MN.

You may remember this decorated Scamp camping trailer from the Seward Neighborhood Tour blog post. At the time of writing the post, I didn't know anything about this mobile piece of art. Thanks to the powers of the internet, I have more information to share! Allen Christian, 25 year resident of Seward, left a comment on the post:

I'm the owner of the "Loaf of Wonder Why". After going to the arts event called Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert seven times since 2001, my partner and I tired of sleeping in the back of my art truck and found a Scamp for sale last year. Before BM [Burning Man], we decorated it like a loaf of Wonder Bread, but delete the bread portion when describing it. It also has two five foot crusts of bread that attach to the top, turning it into a toaster. (see below for photos with the bread)

Allen Christian is also the sculptor that runs the studio/gallery called the House of Balls in the downtown warehouse district at 212 3rd Avenue North. This will hopefully be a stop on my North Loop tour with Jan Elftmann, Director of Art Cars of Minnesota. Note that the Art Car + Art Bike Parade is on July 23 at 6:00 PM around Lake Harriet.
