The San Francisco Examiner reports from Oakland, April 3, 1997:

Ten women and a 300-pound ball of mud added up to a new contribution to the world of performance art.

The mud ball was crafted by Mills College senior art major Mollie Lounibos. It made its debut Tuesday as 10 women pushed it about 50 yards and up a few steps to the Jane Baerwald Aron Art Center.

"This (event) is about taking control of who you are," the 22-year-old Lounibos said.
