Satsumas and the search for TRUTH


Within societys past and present the idea of beauty has been linked perminantly with the idea of good, from St. Augustin to Plato good and beauty where one and the same.
This is, when you think of it, a strange concept. Amelia Jessica is just as likely to kill you as Susan Boil, just because your clothes look good doesn't mean they keep them warmer. We believe that just because something is beautyful it has more value.
This belief isn't immoral, its an emotional response, it's the way where made, but i think it also deducts from truth, so i intend to subvert the idea of truth.
Enter the Satsumas. My intention is to take traditional still life and instead of having food and letting it rot.
Unfortaintly they don't look quite as green in black and white. : (
At least it's a start.
