Coronation Crab (minument)
Huon pine, spider crab shell, miliput, gold paint
King Cornish Crab, formerly known as Spider crab, AKA the end of consumer choice It was amusing/bemusing to hear that Spider Crabs are undergoing a rebrand.

This is a 'minument,' to marketing. Minuments are small works which look at the less glorious aspects of contemporary life. At a time in which Monuments are being (rightly) scrutinised. |
