Retail therapy week – day three

January 17, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 3 Comments

As long as you’re spending your hard-earned cash, you may as well spend it on something that’s good not only for your mood but for the earth, independent artists and the community. I love the symbolism and irony behind Plant the Piece, a shotgun-shaped seed bomb blasting annual and perennial wildflowers such as cornflower, Shasta daisy, Siberian wallflower, and coreopsis. Piece/peace – get it? This is definitely the best gun I’ve ever seen!

Created as part of a a traveling exhibition by Christopher Humes and Noah Scalin called Swords into Plowshares, Plant the Piece is available for sale here, along with your standard round seed bombs (shown below).

    Hey, I know the project site probably say the same thing, but thats clearly a pistol, not a shot gun.
