Black Plums in White Bowl
oil on board, 36 x 40", 2000

"Berman indulges in the description of earthenware bowls that contain large, glossy acorn squash or a handful of tomatillos, with their papery skin...The sensuality is undeniable, yet Berman's subtle manipulation of scale sets these works apart from mere description. A plum the size of a cabbage is a wonderful ploy to investigate texture and light. By appealing to the senses first, she opens the door to explore the relationships of objects in space." --Patricia Johnson, Review, Houston Chronicle, Nov. 10, 1998
