2024.5.1
A small arrangement of vegetables painted in violet light — red cabbage and onion, yellow squash, a bell pepper at the edge. The shadows do most of the work, holding the composition together across its drift of color.

Collection of the artist
2024.5.3

16 × 20 in. (41 × 51 cm)
Collection of the artist
2024.5.2
A study in temperature: one pumpkin held in firelight, the other rendered in the cool blue of moon shadow. Two of the same fruit, made unlike by light alone.
