LIVE ARTIST: ANWYL COOPER-WILLIS

This Welsh artist, now resident in Bristol, has made a small egg-shaped shrine for an object of cultural significance, possibly.

Anwyl writes: ”We appear to worship celebrity and to believe in its magic touch. These potatoes are just potatoes, but having been purchased by Tate Modern and exhibited as part of an installation, Kartoffelhaus, by Sigmar Polke, they are now completely transmogrified, and without physical alteration, into magical, blessed potatoes.”
