Using the squash for art is not a new idea. Various culptures have turned their hard peel into tools. However, when American artits Marilyn Sunderland gets a squash in hand, it's a whole different matter. Sunderland combines sculpting, wittling and painting to turn these works of nature to rare works of art.
