I had resisted working with digital collage for years. As a lark I started playing with this image of a moldy lemon in an espresso cup. I got hooked on it and after a few weeks of much fun I came up with this series. Each collage contains the image of the lemon. I also used photos I had taken of my friends and travels over the years.
I see this lemon, itself in transition, as a metaphor for my own life. As I get older parts of me turn gray and don't work as well but I still have good memories and most of me is mostly good. We did eat the bottom part of the lemon.
