| THE LEMON LADY was inspired by the singular image of a woman sitting on a mound of lemons. Is she a rest, possessed? Is this a fairy tale, live painting or an ad? The work explores the interaction between human flesh and the flesh of the fruit. The color, size, shape and smell of 3,500 lemons are juxtaposed against the figure of a woman in white who inhabits the environment. The Lemon Lady incorporates improvisational structures, video, live performance and the lemons. Viewers are encouraged to observe how atmospheric factors, light, heat, sun, moisture inform the work over time and record their experience in The Lemon Lady book. |
