Story:

After visiting the local fruit and vegetable market in the UNESCO protected cave town of Matera in the south of Italy, I walked home on polished sandstone to the warmth of the emerging sun. It was late October and I was staying in an extra ordinate hotel called Sextantion with cave rooms from ancient times. The light as you open the heavy old wooden door to the room we stayed in created the most wonderful light when left cracked. I emptied my basket of produce from the market and with eager fingers set up a stillife of fruits that had been in my mind ever since we arrived a few days earlier.

Creating with fresh local produce made me feel so connected to this place, a place I’ve been coming to for years.

I yearn to return already, I said to my English gentleman as we packed the car, ready to embark on the five hour drive back up to Rome before our flight home to the English countryside.

Always torn between Italy and England, I left with this little serie of stillifes created in the place I love so much, a moment in time created, captured and preserved, like a leaf out of my journal.
