Stacks by Tony Cragg, 1975, the Tate Collection.

To make this work Cragg arranged miscellaneous objects and materials, collected at random, into a solid, geometric structure. The layering suggests geological strata, showing how both natural and fabricated elements are incorporated into landscapes shaped over time by mankind. Stack demonstrates Cragg's interest in humanity's impact on nature through industry, science and technology, as well as the evolution of both organic and man-made landscapes.

I see food -- a layered Pâté en Croûte, a funky Napoleon pastry (its French name is Mille-feuille, "thousand leaves").

British-born sculptor Tony Cragg, an expat who live in Germany, has a most interesting website; navigation is simple but a little tricky to find. On the Sculptures tab, up and down arrows lead through decades of work.
