Photographer’s Notes:

This series is an exploration of the vivid colors and intricate textures within common fruits and vegetables. I sliced each piece until I found a thickness that would hold the color (wouldn't wash out), but also allowed light to pass through.

I don’t think of a Cucumber as a delicate fruit, but the subtle transition of white to green, and the illusion that the seeds are floating in space, gives it a fragile appearance.

In almost every case, these pieces are purchased to be displayed in a series: a vertical row, horizontal row or a grid (2x2, 3x3, etc.). Series are often based on similar shapes (lime/orange/kiwi/yellow tomato/onion or grape/papaya/pear), complimentary shapes (apple/star fruit/kiwani), contrasting shapes (endive/mushroom/kiwani), or various color combinations (all green, all red, all yellow, red/yellow/green, etc.)
