Bungalow Bliss

potatoes, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, Ireland, 2010

The carved potato houses are located in the context of Ireland’s failed »Bungalow Bliss,« when speculation objects and family homes became ghost towns after the collapse of the financial markets. The materials used refer to the Great Famine of the nineteenth century, which was triggered by political and social grievances and the failure of several potato harvests.
