still life, still life, 2020 (acrylic on canvas, found objects, abandoned church)
still life, still life explores the concept of entropy, presenting an organized chaos. Although the image may appear to showcase a disarray of objects, each item has been strategically placed. All the objects depicted were found within the abandoned church they occupied. Many of these items were covered in dust, undisturbed for years, including an old projector, stowed-away blueprints and paperwork, an unfinished loom, and seashells found in an old potato chip can.
The composition within the still-life is enriched by a painting that has been integrated back into the arrangement, creating a multidimensional perspective. Additionally, there is a photo of the installation that features the painting of that very installation. I challenge the viewer to question what they are observing and to consider the significance of the focal area. still life, still life grants these forgotten objects a heightened reality, transforming once-discarded trash into "things" with a narrative.
