Art Installation of Block Prints
Have you wondered why we’re surrounded by productive, flourishing orchards and yet the local grocery store is selling U.S. apples? Have you heard that the tree fruit industry is in crisis? Do you know that fruit growers are losing money every year? This installation is comprised of 110 block prints which represent the estimated 2010 apple crop for Washington State and British Columbia. Each print (or square) equals 1 million boxes of apples. Clearly, British Columbia’s crop of 3 million boxes is dwarfed by Washington State’s estimated crop of 107 million boxes. This installation is a visual representation of the problem. Washington State produces a huge crop of apples and this creates a surplus in all of North America.
