salmon/corn installation

As if this week wasn't big and busy enough, I also installed a sculpture i've been working on for the last few months at the Hull House in chicago this week. If you're not familiar with the hull house, they are a group created by Jane Addams to give social services, education, and support to chicago citizens, especially youth. One of their big initiatives is a new program teaching about sustainable eating, including an urban farm on the UIC campus and a weekly free soup event with guest chefs coming in to talk about these sort of topics. In short, it's a great place and I'm honored and extremely pleased to be able to install here.

About the piece. It's titled "Salmon! Now eating corn and loving it." and is a response to the extremely mind blowing facts that farm raised salmon are now being bred to eat a heavily grain diet, and in doing so are loosing their omega 3s and have become the most highly medicated live stock.

The piece is going to be up for a week, and i'm planning to try and photograph it everyday and post here to hopefully get some interesting evidence of it's returning to the earth via animal eating
