Ottawa Beanfield Cola Stars, (sculpture).

Soybean plants, earth, and lime.

A crop art sculpture in a field of soybeans of two crushed cola cans. The images were accented by graphic applications of crushed limestone. As the soybean plants grew they became brown in color. To give the cola cans their identifiable colors nearly nine hundred volunteers wore red and blue t-shirts. On command they marched into position on the field giving the cans a pointillistic art design look.
