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.

The series had to include a Strawberry, which I thought would be easy to shoot. But strawberries are mostly opaque, and when sliced thin enough to pass light they don’t have the rich red color. Like the Lime and Orange, this piece of fruit has a lot of light reflected on its top side.

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.)
