NYC Urban Field Station artist - in - residence Mary Mattingly has created
a floating food forest that invites the public to cultivate fresh food as the barge travels through NYC harbors and acts as a setting for conversations about food and public policy.
Its levels span relatively mundane locations like a bustling Manhattan - style urban metropolis and thick - pined
forest to a land made entirely of
food, chunks of roast meat and cobs of corn
floating on rivers of boiling cheese or pink sugar.
