The tomatillo series was created during a time that I felt heartbroken and fragile. I roasted tomatillos in their husks for a dish I was making and saved the husks after removing the pulp because I thought they looked magical. Several months later, I backlit them and photographed them in a lightbox. I then took them over to Photoshop and began masking and colorizing them via select by color range. The resulting images look like etchings (I have formal training as a printmaker) but are created entirely digitally from photographed images.
