Glorious Lemon

A large pale-yellow lemon, rendered with lumpy, bulbous contours and a stippled surface, rests on the ground viewed from behind between two slender trees with overhanging foliage. The rest of the composition is in monochrome grey ink-work — bare branches, grass tufts, scattered pebbles, and fallen leaves — with a small dark bird and a tiny beetle placed near the lemon's base. Kyoko Imazu, "Glorious Lemon," 2023, etching and aquatint with chine-collé.
