Anthocyanins have a certain allure - the carrots and peppers these pigments color purple lure you in, enticing you to cultivate them, share them widely, and take just one bite of them... I caught and ate this small mouth bass, and was far too excited that I actually caught it to just stop there, and I grow lots of anthocyanin-prominent vegetables in my garden, so here’s this guy.
This work will be featured in the Gods and Monsters show Artist Collective at ALTR Gallery, opening this weekend, October 2-3, and on display through November 1st!
Made with indigo-dyed fabric, purple carrots (gniff and pusa asita black), cactus flower, purple beans, a small onion, cayenne peppers, sunflower, mirrors, pink rock salt, and parts of a real bass I caught, preserved in clear resin with an oak frame
