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.

At first take, the Lime would seem an easy subject. Not so. When sliced thick enough to show detail in the pulp of the fruit, the rind was entirely opaque and dark. But when thin enough to allow light through the rind, the interior was lost. Like the Strawberry and Orange, a lot of light had to be reflected back on top of the Lime.

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.)
