This is artist Cosimo Cavallaro, explaining his work -- a bed with more than 300 pounds of sliced ham -- at a gallery in New York.

Cavallaro calls the ham "a pure form of America: all kinds of parts, boiled and pressed together." He rejected prosciutto because "it would have been pompous."

And expensive. What's cheap deli ham, like, $2.99/pound?
