"The book was designed to resemble wallpapers sample books found in designers and decorators shops. Most of the images are retired from actual old wallpaper patterns found in various museums although the designs have all been changed and altered significantly. The wallpaper designs have been 'invaded' by fruit labels, fast food logos or whole apple entirely covered in their 'identification' labels. Nature hides itself. The book is part of a series of works commenting on the way contemporary economics of agriculture have altered the production of food and the way we consume it."--Description provided by the artist.
