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.

When people view this series further than an arm’s-length away they often think the images are watercolors. This Yellow Tomato looks like a watercolor even up close. It has a vibrant, graphic quality that I like. I think a 4x4 or 8x8 grid of this photograph would create an incredible pop art presentation.

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.)
