Market Place (2017) was commissioned by the Museum of Brisbane for the exhibition Tastes Like Sunshine. The project's central work is a diorama made using artwork cutouts from a selection of fruit and vegetable cartons, which are arranged in the space according to their farm's location. Like many fruit cartons, the diorama is pun-like; it is a characterisation of a rural landscape, a landscape re-imagined with only the artwork of fruit cartons as reference material.
A third component of the installation — an interactive image of each element of the diorama — serves as a catalogue linking the project's source materials with their packaging.
