A Note About the Art

To create these sculptures, markets throughout the New York metropolitan area were plumbed for expressive produce. These were carved using a simple Exacto knife and enhanced with other natural materials, such as black-eyed peas (for eyes) and beet-juice coloring (for mouths). These sculptures were then photographed against plain and colored backgrounds to achieve the desired effect and mood.
