Symbolic of love, romance, fertility and abundance. In its hard, raw state the quince emits an intense aroma but is impossible to eat as it is so sour. With time and slow cooking, its sweet flavour is released symbolising patience and temperance. It predates the modern apple and is sometimes considered to be the original forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Printed using archival quality inks on aluminium dibond framed in black oak. Print size 300x300mm, overall size 344x344mm
