A scene is staged on the surface of a drawing table. Here, two clamp lights used to spot-light performances, are laid on a table, angled towards a bowl silver bowl containing bananas and apples. A canvas is laid upon the staged scene, and then through the marking of short graphite lines on the surface of the canvas, the scene is exposed and made still on the canvas surface. The fruit rot over the duration of the artworks making.
