Mature plums, and many other fruits, often have a hazy white coating. This is a naturally occurring wax layer called a ‘bloom’. Its purpose is to minimise moisture loss from the surface of the fruit. When arranging these plums in the paper bag, I had to be careful not to spoil the bloom, primarily because it’s that waxy surface that, as the form rolls away, does great things as it plays with the light.
Framed in Lion's 65mm Vermeer moulding in matt black with gold sight edge.
