Pink Grapefruit No. 2

Double-faced Pink and Orange Pocket Square (available with 2 stamp cut edges and 2 fringed), Silk and Linen, 23cm x 25cm, Woven and Handmade in Ireland.

The slicing of a pink Grapefruit. Fluid Ruby red glistening fractals hiding under an eggshell sheen, porous (and oh so fragrant when you scratch, with a burst of juice like from an atomiser) skin in leathery blood orange. Leaves of crinkly green. And the mouth feel. The multi-sensory experience of it transcends language, sight, taste, smell, touch.

It’s one of many things I see in the source inspiration, and in the piece. But to you maybe it’s a fiery sunset on a hot Manhattan day. To me it is too.
