As she passes I pluck a bunch of grapes from her and bring them to you. You eat the fruit and I chew the stem. This makes me feel awkward, so you put your lips to mine and pour sweetest juice into my mouth, and my bitterness disappears...’ Colette Calascione Illumination 2004 oil on panel 30 x 20 inches (CC05x1)
