Crowns: Ghostberries

Ghostberries
28 x 22"

These blueberries appear less anchored to the earth than gently hovering, their forms softened by a faint, spectral glow. A rim of light traces each edge, as if the berries are backlit from another place, giving them a ghostlike presence—part fruit, part apparition. They seem to emerge and recede at the same time.
 
Their colors drift between opacity and translucence: milky whites, purples, blues that feel suspended in air rather than resting on a surface. The subtle illumination behind their contours suggests an inner life, a quiet radiance that leaks out rather than announces itself.
 
Boundaries collapse as the familiar dissolves into the phantasmagorical, allowing the viewer to move fluidly between kitchen-table intimacy and ghostly awe.
