The initial experiment, located at Pig&#8217;s Eye Landfill, a State Superfund site in St. Paul, Minnesota, was a replicated field test using special hyperaccumulator plants to extract heavy metals from contaminated soil. Scientific analysis of biomass samples from this field confirmed the potential of &#8220;Green Remediation&#8221; as an on-site, low-tech alternative to current costly and unsatisfactory remediation methods. Despite soil conditions adverse to metal uptake, a variety of Thlaspi, the test plant with the highest capacity for hyperaccumulation, was found to have significant concentration of cadmium in its leaves and stems.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1487\" title=\"Revival Field\" src=\"http:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revivalfield1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revivalfield1.jpg 515w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revivalfield1-103x150.jpg 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1485\" title=\"Revival Field - Thlaspi\" src=\"http:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/6J_Thlaspi-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/6J_Thlaspi-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/6J_Thlaspi-1-590x395.jpg 590w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/6J_Thlaspi-1-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/6J_Thlaspi-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1484\" title=\"Revival Field - Data\" src=\"http:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chaney_blueslide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chaney_blueslide.jpg 750w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chaney_blueslide-590x396.jpg 590w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chaney_blueslide-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chaney_blueslide-150x101.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/43795366\" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nRevival Field animation, produced by art:21<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1481\" title=\"Revival Field Maquette\" src=\"http:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revival-Field-Maquette.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revival-Field-Maquette.jpg 750w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revival-Field-Maquette-590x394.jpg 590w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revival-Field-Maquette-700x468.jpg 700w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Revival-Field-Maquette-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br \/>\nRevival Field Maquette<br \/>\n1990<br \/>\nsoil, steel, brass, metallic enamel, nylon, acrylic, and mixed media<br \/>\n8 x 44 x 44 inches<\/p>\n<p>The maquette demonstrates the circular configuration of the planting of hyperaccumulators that was done on site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1991-ongoing plants, industrial fencing on a hazardous waste landfill an ongoing project in conjunction with Dr. Rufus Chaney, senior research agronomist, USDA Revival Field began as a conceptual artwork with the intent to sculpt a site&#8217;s ecology. 1993 marked a successful conclusion to the first phase of this collaborative effort.
