Artist Statement
The challenge was given! Could I create a visual work of art that would engage at least one of the other 5 senses in addition to vision? Immediately I thought of my previous art study of lemons.  Texture is a part of my work quite often so the sense of touch was easy.  But I wanted a challenge.  I decided to try to engage the sense of taste. Often the sight of some foods can make your mouth water. This seems especially true of lemons. I could see the whole piece in my mind and knew where I wanted to go with it. For months I gathered just the right materials. After a few experiments, my lemon was born! Now I have one question for you. Does it make your mouth water?
