No. 01. Study of a Forked Carrot.
Medium: baked, rescued vegetable.
Look closer.
Too crooked for the supermarket. Perfect for the gallery.
Imperfect vegetables, rescued and baked into crisps. Each one hung, framed and ready to be eaten.

01
Grown
On farms that grow for flavour first. The soil does not consult the supermarket about shape.
02
Rejected
Sorted out at the packhouse for a fork, a bend, a knobble. Nothing wrong with them but their outline.
03
Rescued
Collected the same week, sliced by hand where needed and baked slow until they snap.
On the surface, a curl of peel. Beneath it, something crisp.
