Artist StatementI grew all the vegetables and flowers used in the images. They were all created using an Epson V750 Pro Scanner working upside down. After the images were scanned, they were then processed in photoshop. Then printed using an Epson printer with archival pigment ink. They were printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta paper. The mat, foam board, hinging tape and image holders are also archival. Some of the flowers and vegetables might not be obvious. In the dancing or suffragette image, the peppers are called Mad Hatters or Bishop’s Hat. The petals on top of the eggplants are from an okra flower. And the tiny cucumbers are Mexican gherkins. In the image with an eggplant and two tomatoes on a narrow board, the fulcrum is also a mad hatter pepper. In the image with the eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and zucchini flowers, they are all sitting on an eggplant leaf. The other image that also sits on an eggplant leaf has an okra flower, cucumber, tomatoes, jalapeño, zucchini flowers and the small white flowers at the top of the image are cilantro flowers. The mushroom image has sage leaves, tomatoes, and small chili peppers. The Time Warp tomatoes image is just tomatoes, and the last image (humming squash) is a sunflower, sage leaves and a baby squash with its flower still attached.
