«We Paint with the Red of the Cabbage»

'We paint with the red of the cabbage, the green of the clover, the blue of the heavens, the white of the mildew, the black of the night, the red of the signals ... oblong red, angular yellow, round blue, short yellow, gradated red, pointed scarlet, streaky grey...'
Claus Böhmler

Pieces of fruit and vegetables, presented in a row against a white backdrop, are swapped over, added to, processed and placed in relation to spoken poetic/absurd sentences and reflections about colour and material.
