About the artwork
When shoppers visit the market, they are hoping for value, volume, and a bit of the traditional shouting trader atmosphere which is no longer so commonplace on the British high street. But with value comes at a cost of a different kind: the freedom to select the best (as you can in a supermarket) is removed, with produce already pre-portioned out and speed becoming the name of the game. I went to the St Albans market and bought 1 punnet of citrus fruits for 1 pound. I recorded, and printed them just as they were sold to me, mould and all.
