Food-Prints | Public Art | West Hollywood, California

Food-Prints is a dry garden comprised of wooden sculptures representing some of California’s most abundant agricultural products. The installation places each food sculpture in a circle sized for its relative virtual water footprint, While at first glance, it may seem that the almond is the thirstiest object and the tomato the least, the entire outer area represents a single serving of steak. The exhibition layout is based on the timeless proportions of Ryoan-ji, Japan’s most famous zen rock garden. This is the third and final work in “Can You Dig It?,” the temporary land art exhibition in Plummer Park conceived to address the drought. A public art installation by Cheng+Snyder with The Canary Project at Plummer Park, West Hollywood. Project Team: Brett Snyder, Edward Morris, Susannah Sayler, Taylor Metcalf, Jacqueline Su, Marissa Meier. With Support From Jeffrey Aldridge, Jeff Farley, And Sitou Akolly.
