Rolling Through the Bay, 35 years of toothpicks and creativity

Rolling Through the Bay is a unique piece of art, the kind of work we could see in a movie or a comic book. Scott Weaver, an american artist, spent 35 years of his live to make it with toothpicks. The sculpture features "tours" allowing ping-pong balls to roll through the piece of art.The sculpture symbolises the city of San Francisco by containing the main monuments and spots of the city, placed along the tours. A really creative and original work, which seduces a very wide public, thanks to the imaginary feeling it evokes. The details and concepts are important too for the artist, who used only one brand of glue, and foreign toothpicks to make the trees of the city.
