More peaches are wasted on the floors of caneries and in the fields than are in that sculpture... at least it is partly biodegradable. Antinous:

Of course if you were promoting a skin care product for women that let's just say smelled like Oh I dunno, peaches?... "Ella Bache - Smells like Balls!" - Not really the message they were looking to send, I guess. “It would have worked fine with a zillion Spalding balls.”

"interesting to see the making of" i thought. then on the website they describe it as a "Major Artistic Endeavour", so it sounded promising. i was kind of disappointed when i watched it and saw they 3d-modelled the woman and sent the mesh to a foam-fab and just stuck a ton of peaches to the resulting structure.. so its not really "made" of peaches, is it? meh, maybe i expect too much. hmm, i saw the picture and immediately imagined a sculptor commissioned to actually build this thing, peach by peach, with some rebar and chicken-wire. “interesting to see the making of” i thought.
