In 1982, conceptual artist Agnes Denes planted and harvested a two-acre field of wheat on a rubble-strewn landfill in Lower Manhattan, located just a few blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Center, for her incredible project Wheatfield – A Confrontation.

The work was commissioned by the Public Art Fund and took four months to complete. Denes and her team meticulously prepared the infertile landfill, bringing in soil, digging 285 furrows by hand, and planting the seeds. For months, they tended to the field, maintaining an irrigation system, weeding, and fertilizing. The effort culminated in a successful harvest, yielding over 1,000 pounds of golden wheat.

Everyone knows the classic sight of a leek sticking out of the grocery bag. But what if I told you this gentle aromatic was good for more than just her pleasing silhouette?

I love when people get so into their craft that they let it become a metaphor for life. What does a gardener, or a glass blower, or a makeup artist, or an editor have to say about all of it ? I especially love learning how the mechanics required for the craft naturally alter their behaviors and mechanisms in other areas of their life
