Mary Catherine Newcomb's Aubergine Saints


I was trying to find some images of my favourite painters work, when I stumbled upon these haunting vegetables. They are the work of Sculptor Mary Catherine Newcomb from Southern Ontario. This series, called the Eden Project, started in 2006 when Mary started cultivating 'saint' bushes. In 2007 she moved onto larger squashes and chili Demons. They are created with a transparent mold placed around the fruit when it is just set. http://www.newcombalia.ca/Site/home.html
