Gooseberries stems from the eponymous Anton Chekhov short story: In the evening, while we were drinking tea, the cook brought a large plate of gooseberries to the table Nickolay Ivanych chuckled and looked at the gooseberries for a minute in silence, with tears running down his cheeks he was so excited he could not speak, then he put a gooseberry into his mouth, looked at me triumphantly, like a child who has finally been handed a favourite toy, and said: How delicious! He started eating greedily and saying over and over: Ah how delicious! You must try one! They were hard and sour.

The work was comprised of plate sculptures, planar solid sculptures and some drawings.
