The theme of the Field’s Project is “Bringing Art and Agriculture Together,” and all invited artists will be living with farm families on working farms for the duration of the event. Carol is one of the 3 field sculpture artists selected who created designs that will be mowed by farm tractors into a 450’ X 600’ field, with final results viewable from the air. Her design incorporates an art deco influenced stalk of corn, titled Homage to Illinois Corn. It is her 3rd time to participate, and first as a field sculptor.

The Field’s Project web site states: “Our objectives are to focus public attention on art, agriculture, and our natural resources while creating new relationships between artists, farmers, environmentalists, and educators.... On the last Sunday of the event (June 26), we have a Fine Arts & Crafts Festival where visiting artists display and sell their work, along with regional artists and sculptors. The festival is held at Mix Park, located on Rt. 2, south of Rt. 64 in Oregon, Illinois.”

The public is invited to view the field sculptures as airplane rides are conducted on the last two days of the event. For plane ride reservations call 815-732-3324.
