Dear Golden Delicious

Dear Golden Delicious, 2015, Laura Wills,

Participatory artwork and site specific installation as part of SALA Festival artist in resident at the Adelaide Central Markets

Dear Golden Delicious evolved as a gratitude art project through inviting people to write personal messages about their own fruit and vegetable relationships. Messages were written onto cardboard leaves that were added to a site specific installation of cardboard apple trees and a growing vegetable garden.

Examples of some messages 

“Hi carrot I hope you grow tall”

“Dear strawberry guava you taste like magic to me”

“Dear Mango, I love you! You're yum! Come sooner this year”
