Inspired by Henry George Todd’s “Study of Strawberries”, this piece shows strawberries in the way most people today experience “gathering” them: that is, at the grocery store, stacked neatly in near identical, glimmering plastic packages. While Todd’s piece hints at diseases which would taint an already limited fruiting season, “January Harvest” seeks to make the viewer consider their detachment from modern food production, what fruit may be “in season”, and the plentiful availability of fresh produce year round that the average American might take for granted.
