Tomatillo or Green Husk Tomatoes feature in Mexican cooking. They are related to the Cape Gooseberry and are not tomatoes at all. I found they are easy to grow in the UK. One day I found this dried fruit in a flower pot in my garden. The papery husk had been eaten away revealing the lattice of veins that form around the fruit. I put it in front of the lens suspended on black cotton thread which I later painted out. I wanted to get a feeling of mystery into the image. What is this object? People who have seen the image tell me it has a strange attraction.

Marius Grose Marius Grose was born in the city of Bath in the United Kingdom in 1957. His family moved to Gerrards Cross near London in 1960. He returned to the west country to study fine art at Bristol Polytechnic, graduating in 1981 with a degree in Fine Art, Sculpture. He has lived in Bristol since this time. At school Marius showed a great passion for art, story telling and science. His first job was to work in the research and development unit of Wiggins Teape papermakers. He left this employment to take an arts foundation course in 1977. After graduating he worked for a time with physically handicapped people as a craft instructor. In 1984 he decided to change career path and moved into broadcast television eventually becoming a video editor. He has worked on many documentary projects over his career. Throughout this period he maintained his photographic practice. With the advent of digital photography Marius was able to re-engage with the techniques of macro photography. He discovered the work of Karl Blossfeldt during his years as art school which had a great influence on him. Through the camera he explores very different strands of image making, documentary in the form of street photography, abstract images and the natural world. Collections of plant images and street photography are published in two books, Green Eye. A garden in close up and, Floating Harbour, Floating World. Walking around Bristol with a camera. Currently Marius is working on a series 'Plant Portraits' using macro photography to explore the plant life in his garden in central Bristol UK. Future plans include making a book that features his photographs and poetry.
