# Potato-Peeled Cities Plot by Peter Root is a Good Source of Vitamins By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-03-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plot-by-peter-root References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/plot-a-stunning-cityscape-made-of-carved-potatoes.html) & [peterroot](http://www.peterroot.com/) Plot by Peter Root is a [miniature city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bland-castles) made entirely out of potatoes. The tiny town was created just before St. Patrick’s Day and surely the Irish would enjoy this piece of artwork made from their national vegetable. The potato city took three weeks to create and Root said he used [60 kilograms of potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-potato-range) to create buildings and other structures. His only tools for carving were a knife and a bicycle repair kit which helped him turn [vegetables into skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics). One can see the immense detail in the design as every building has holes poked for windows and the clock tower has a carved clock face. Plot by Peter Root is a healthy source of starch and intricate artwork. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Potato-based Art:** Opportunity to explore innovative ways of using potatoes as a medium for creating art. - **Miniature City Sculptures:** Potential for creating intricate and detailed miniature cities using unconventional materials. - **Sustainable Sculpture:** Exploring the use of organic and biodegradable materials for creating sustainable sculptures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Opportunity for artists to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques in sculpture. - **Agriculture and Food:** Potential for utilizing surplus or non-traditional vegetables in creative and artistic ways. - **Sustainable Design:** Incorporating organic materials in design and sculpture as a way to promote sustainability and environmental consciousness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Earthy Potato Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polish-potatoes-by-bohoboco.md) - [Potato Breakfast Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oeb-breakfast-co.md) - [Stackable Potato Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hash-brown-topple-tower.md) - [Nutrient-Rich Vegetable Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-foods-vegetable-chips.md) - [Potato-Based Ultra-Strong Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcrete.md) - [Potato Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potato-ice-creams.md) - [Potato Chip Grow Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potatogrowing-kits.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Eco-Friendly Root Vegetable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-packaging-concept.md)
