Tommy Atkins Has
Come
a Long Way
Part of a natural progression from my wrapped fruit sculptures, this series pushes the point of origin of each piece of produce to the forefront of the conversation. Presenting the stickers in portrait view as the main subject causes a reconsideration of the companies involved in production, the variety of locations fruit in the U.S. is sourced from, and the classifications we give to produce. This exposes the many processes and systems that lay hidden beneath something as simple and (at times) accessible as a piece of fruit in our globalized world.
