'The Tree of Life bears
Strange Fruit.'
Coerced into explaining, though the work should speak for itself and one hopes,
say different things to different people
My piece 'Strange Fruit' is part of a series entitled 'Matters of the Heart',
and inspired by the invitation to participate in an exhibition called 'The
Tree Of Life'. It stems from the realization that between birth and death
there exist only precious present moments - of love, joy, passion, strength,
courage, wisdom, honesty, humour, generosity, creativity, freedom (and their
opposites), and that in squandering these we are obliged to live with the
consequences.
