Historically Still Life represents the transience of life where decay and vanity go hand in hand. My Still Life series reimagines the paintings of ordinary objects by imbuing them with life and suggesting possibilities for spontaneous movement. The viewer begins to observe the life forces inherent in the objects. The ordinary object is made alive. What is the emotional experience of light traversing and reflecting various surfaces? To elicit an experience of movement and even transformation, my work depicts ordinary objects that co-exist with birds and butterflies who are either flying or on the verge of flight. This series reimagines stillness and transience with a life-affirming “YES!”
