This work reimagines iron carrots from the Acme Catalog, an all-purpose fictional company known for supplying Wile E. Coyote with an endless array of contraptions. Presented as though they have just been drop-shipped, the piece brings the absurdity of Acme’s fantastical products into the physical realm, prompting viewers to reflect on the impossibility and comic failure inherent in these outlandish creations..
