Ageing Pear

2020 / silk thread on satin fabric / 14''x20'' / 8 weeks

Portraying still life in the form of a fruit past its prime. Decay in the leaves and the changing colours of a ripening fruit have been portrayed true to form. Incorporation of a whorl in the body of the pear was an added twist. A coming together of pure earth tones depicted in the yellow browns of an over ripened fruit and the muddy greens of a decaying leaf.
