Cabbages

In 2009, I visited Paris and came across a wonderful farmer’s market in which all the produce was beautifully arranged. A photo of Savoy cabbages on a stack of shipping crates was one of my favorites from the trip. Ten years later, I created this design inspired by my original photo. The yellow and white curtain was abstracted into wavy stripes in intersecting gradations of yellow, white, and blue. The packing crates were also interpreted in fanciful colors. I digitally manipulated and printed the cabbage photo, which was appliquéd into the abstract background. The binding fabric was designed to match the texture of the cabbages.
