New 'stubble art'




      Crunching my way across a stubble field to the orchard to check-up on the pears for the 'pear audit' and looking down, rather than the usual up, I see the beginning of a new art movement. Stubble art.
      All of the stubble is laid in different directions by the combine harvester as it cuts its way through the crop and where there is a slight small dip in the field surface that is insufficient to make the combine follow the contour the stubble is longer. Consequently patterns begin to emerge in chopped stubble that look as if they have been made like crop circles.
      Very interesting but how do I frame it.
