My work is concerned with value and how culturally this can alter and change over time. To do this I am exploring exotic fruit in particular fruit such as pineapples and water melons, fruit that is not native to Britain. These particular fruits and most particularly the pineapple have historically been highly valued, featuring in works of art and architecture. Now these once prized fruits are easily available and plentiful for everyone to buy. I have been making painted sculptural forms that explore this notion of value finding methods of presentation which playfully suggest a return to their elevated position.
