Renewable Resources
 
wood, paint, screws, imagination
16ft x 3ft x 3ft
 
The derricks vary in height from 11ft to 16ft and taper in width from 3ft at the base to 6in at the top. 
 
 
I wanted to take something like the stigma of crude oil derricks and twist them around with oils that are equally ancient and I feel equally valuable. From the dawn of the Industrial Revolution we literally fuel our lives by fueling our cars, factories, homes and more with a nonrenewable resource.  While Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, and Olive Oil may not fuel our cars, they fuel our lives in an innumerous amount of other ways.
