Corn Animals
Animals made of corn! Believe it? The saying "you are what you eat" has lost it's impact. As part of Kevin O'Callaghan's show "Candy Coated Carnival of Controversy" Cornco made these corn figurines. We crafted the design of each figurine by adhering yellow dent corn kernels to a custom pig and cow mold. Livestock around the country is being fed corn as part of their diet. Animals are being fed corn because it is a cheap meal and fattens them up faster than hay or other grains commonly fed to animals. The problem is, these animals never evolved to eat corn and their bodies (especially their stomach) can not process the corn creating internal problems. Our hope is to make people more aware of what they're eating while educating them with some literature on the figurines packaging.
