Small Craft Advisory Press: "Cropwork Orange is a collaboration between three artist/educators with roots in Florida. Robert was Bea's teacher and Bea was Denise's teacher. The project combines memory and transfer of information with its modular pieces that come together to make individual oranges out of the memories and thoughts of the three artists. All three sets of 'oranges' are housed in laser cut envelopes that slip into a custom-made laser cut wooden box."
