The Giant Sprouted Sweet Potato Interventions

The Giant Sprouted Sweet Potato Interventions

The Giant Sprouted Sweet Potato Interventions, is a series of photo montages that play with a fantasy based on the hypothetical existence of a giant sprouted sweet potato, and its adventures as it travels here and there, encountering unexpected places and things.

Sometimes it encounters people and animals wearing strange masks. Other times it encounters altered landscapes, or landscapes containing strange objects or structures. Several times the potato finds itself stuck in little rooms with no indication of how it got there.

Of course there is never any indication in the photographs of how the giant sprouted sweet potato got into any of these places, or why it is so big! This was done in a purposeful way in order to allow the viewers to make up their own stories about the travels of the giant sprouted sweet potato, and its interventions!
