BURY FRUIT depicts the growth of a fetus through the popular convention of comparing it to different fruits.

A pair of hands presents fruits of increasing size and treats each one individually. Close attention is given to skin, internal organs, external marks, and biological function. The hands measure, dissect, clean, caress, and care for the fruits. At once delicate and clinical, this handling slips between the two meanings of fruit as object and fruit as offspring. And it is in this slippage that disparate aspects of the process of fruition — of biology, botany, birth, and the body — come irresolvably together to unsettle our received notions of reproduction.

What is the botany of human life? What is the anatomy of death? What does it mean to bear, and then to bury, fruit?
