Displayed as part of The Table Top Museum at The Art Workers' Guild
October 2024
The Museum of Petrified Spuds is a growing collection of glass vessels containing the individually preserved remains of a sack of supermarket potatoes. The spuds were left undisturbed on the windowsill of the artists studio for several years allowing the eyes to sprout new growths. With no soil to root and only sunlight as nutrients the tubers continued to mutate until they finally ran out of energy. The shrivelled husks were then fully dehydrated in silica gel and now exist as melancholic perpetuated specimens. A series of small and fragile sculptural forms that grew themselves.
