The grocery aisle has become the most culturally loaded space in America.
British felt artist Lucy Sparrow has spent a decade turning supermarket shelves into art installations, handcrafting entire bodegas and chip shops stocked with adorably soft packaging and faux foods. Her latest work, The Beginning of Convenience, is her first U.S. museum exhibition. It makes the case more explicitly than ever, visualizing that the grocery aisle is not just a place to shop. It’s a place where you feel something.
