From the organizers:
“Series Statement
This series explores the simple crop of corn and how it has been manipulated and advertised to encompass our daily life. Corn is a political plant. Both government and corporations, it is a money-maker that allows this product to be among the significant contributors to unhealthful food in the United States. Through a combination of videos, new media structures, digital paintings, and installations, my artwork questions which demographics are directly marketed and affected by the ramifications of eating processed foods.
