“In his videos, David WITHERSPOON records the gradual disintegration of a pig’s head painted in patriotic red, white, and blue, which is rendered finally as dust and bone. He comments on society’s trust in and dependence upon processed food products, which can undermine awareness of the cycles of the growing season and the connection between nutrition and diet.

Below is a series of still images take from the videos Decay(F) and Decay(A)
