Vast field of sunflower seeds.............

Prepare to be amazed....................
I think you will be.
Visitthe Tate Modern Turbine Hall and there you will find a vast carpet of porcelain replica sunflower seeds.
They have been assembled by the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Each replica seed has been hand-fired and hand-painted by inhabitants of Jingdeshen, the 'porcelain capital' of China
When the exhibition originally opened visitors could walk across the 100 million seeds.  
But due to the dust created and health and safety concerns you know have to look and admire ................
Still amazing!
