Crap crops
CRAP CROPS
Three-dimensional documentation of crop failure and discontent at FIELDCLUB. Each time a crop succumbed to one of the many plant pathogens, endemic pests or adverse weather conditions, the crop was immortalised in resin. The amalgamation of all the work in the Crap Crops series forms the sculptural work Crapucopia.
