the next WIP page for my industrial ag collage zine project!

this one is more incomplete than the previous one (https://tilde.zone/@mk30/116235546634565740).

this collage is about the food processing chain, with the body as an extension of the industrial factory processes that get the food into the mouth. i DO have some wastewater diagrams that i want to put at the bottom, but so far none of them quite match up how i want them to (specifically, they're all contemporary and i haven't yet gone digging for some appropriately vintage wastewater diagrams...honestly that sounds like a pain.)

i also have screenshots of like a 10 page article from the 1966 USDA agricultural yearbook detailing the entire process chain for ketchup, so maybe that'll go around the outside, to give a textual feel for the complexity of even a single food's production line.

...as you may know, my favorite collage mode is "maximalist chaotic good", so that's what it is!

here's the first WIP spread of my industrial ag collage zine project!

this one (hopefully) shows that the visual language of high modernist mechanized agriculture (specifically, farm implements like tractors) was directly lifted from the propaganda art of WWII.

also, farmers were urged to "join the mission" during WWII, since food was necessary to feed soldiers. in many ways, the marketing of farm implements after the war continued that messaging.

i'm pretty happy with this collage, but i think i should add some slogans. that should put the cherry on the sundae.
