Blue Arcadia

Responding to the history of agriculture and dairy production in Wassiac and Amenia, printed magnet sheet transform a steel molasses tank. The arches present an idyllic folly, one that romanticizes the myth of the American pastoral. The plants refer to the recent past; beets were grown in the production of sugar and molasses. Flowering cowslip is a visual pun alluding to the massive dairy industry and the path of the milk train to NYC, whose tracks lay a few feet past the tank.
