    Lemon Flavored | 2014

The paintings are very simple, consisting simply of the words "Lemon Flavored" written over hand-made applications of different shades of yellow. The writing in the painting is a cue that carries the yellow from the sense of vision to the sense of taste, an attempt to induce the viewer to sense the sour taste of lemon.
