Artist Statement:
Taking inspiration from the
Dutch and Spanish vanitas
paintings from the 16th&17th
century, my photography and
mixed media collages, and
incorporate artifacts with in
the traditional construct of
the still life. This combining
present and past, and speaks
to memory and personal legacy
both the decomposition of the
natural (such as rotting fruit
and withering flowers), and
the breakdown of the man made
object, reference the physical
body and mortality.
Much of my work explores the
power of object to bear
witness to intangible ideas &
emotional truths. The work
employs the iconography and
symbols of common every day
objects means of
communication, the use of
photography, college itself
adds to the irony when viewed
with in the historical
framework of vanitas painting
,the work evokes the viewer to
call to the mind to question ,
I revisit the tradition of
still life as a memento mori,
through photography, mixed
media .created a series of
challenging pieces,
incorporating a diverse range
of media,
This explores silk screen
printing, collage, hand
painted surfaces, photography
of my drawings, and work, the
photography images are on
stretched canvas and framed to
represent a painterly image.
