Still Life
These paintings were completed in 2007 and aim to explore the notion of depicting commonplace subject matter with an emphasis on both natural food and plants , together with man-made items in an contrived setting. Popular in Western art since the 17th century, I feel that still life works give more freedom in the arrangement of design elements within a painting than do paintings of the landscape.
