About Fruit Follies
Fruit Follies is a fun tongue-in-cheek poke at still-life compositions that traditionally involve a fruit bowl or a cut-flower arrangment of some kind. Here I want to mix it up with a bit of playful absurdity with accompanying props or in a setting that has us raise the status of the fruit and to examine how and when fruit becomes part of our cultural expression. For example, in the piece entitled "Strawberry Beds", the strawberries appear like they are being paraded on a float or bed of some kind. In the second piece, we are reminded the Vikings sailed south at the beginning in order to plunder and pillage the lands and people there. No doubt the sight of the first citrus fruit they came upon would have been seen as a great prize on their voyage so the idea of fruit as something rare and to be treasured.
