grey white green
Twelve grapes, green and seedless, in a simple white bowl.
Eight thousand years ago grapes were being cultivated in Mesopotamia. Cultivated…not just picked or gathered, but deliberately planted, nurtured and tended. Four thousand years later Phoenician merchants shipped grapevines throughout the Mediterranean Sea in broad-beamed galleys. Two thousand years after that Roman legions spread across Europe carrying grape cuttings in their packs. All that extensive history…that long, long vine stretching all the way back to the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates…leaves us with this.
