Crop Circles

Digital manipulations of one of humans’ most pervasive marks on the landscape, agricultural crop circles. These marks are so ubiquitous and from afar, it’s easy to write them off as homogeneous circles. But close up, these circular scars in the landscape leave cues as to the topography, weather, and tools used. From crop circles long abandoned, to those in active use, these scars are beautiful manifestations of the first step in our food supply chain.
