{"title":"Stands","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\"\u003eAlong the roadside, these stands appear without warning — a table, a tin can for change, tomatoes, eggs, strawberries, peaches, sometimes packed in recycled plastic bags from the local grocery store. What you find there is never arbitrary: it's what that particular stretch of land, at that particular moment, has to offer. Soil, geography, and the day's weather shape the stand as much as the hand that built it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\"\u003eEach image carries its own data: the farm's name if known, the year, the temperature, the price marked. Details that seem incidental today but, over time, become markers — a snapshot of the cost of living, here, at this moment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\"\u003eEach stand is photographed according to the same protocol: frontal framing, consistent distance, fixed proportions — a typology that levels the hierarchy between subjects to let the vernacular architecture speak for itself. Slatted wood, corrugated tin, salvaged lumber, sometimes a simple awning, sometimes an elaborate shelter with a peaked roof and carefully lettered signage: each construction choice reveals a practical ingenuity — how to shield the goods from sun, rain, and wind with whatever's on hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\"\u003eThese stands sometimes run on the honour system: no seller, no register — only the trust that each person will pay a fair price. In a world that makes food increasingly abstract, these stands are a reminder that it always has a precise origin, a season, a land that carried it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"stand-001","title":"Stand # 001, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada, 2025","description":"","brand":"Martine Côté","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43485784866883,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/1212\/files\/FruitStand_001_Lincoln_Ontario_Canada_2025_DSCF4457_small_borders.jpg?v=1783010417"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/1212\/collections\/Fruit_Stand_001_Lincoln_Ontario_Canada_2025_DSCF4457_small_borders.jpg?v=1783009898","url":"https:\/\/martinecotegallery.com\/collections\/stands.oembed","provider":"Martine Côté","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
