Each truss, is a jewelled colour sequence from red, orange to green.
The painting pictured is from a still life series painted a couple of seasons ago. At a time of great change, the tiny tomatoes ripening on the linen cloth with woven striped border were at a "crossroads". With each day passing, they ripened to a brighter red, to maturity. On maturity what was to be their destination? Were they to be gobbled up as part of a salad or sandwich or to be saved for seed? Those saved for seed, would get the opportunity to start anew. The consumed fruit, would sustain a life yet would lose its own.
Of late, there has been a flurry of activity with numerous posting about the wonderful people who have agreed to be part of the interviews. For the next while, I will be working quietly away in the background writing up new interviews and preparing for the exhibition 'Interpreting Place' to be held at Halls Gap as part of the TEXTURES 2012 .
