I LIKE TO THINK OF OBJECTS OF ANY KIND AS INANIMATE CHARACTERS FOR WHICH ONE HAS TO CREATE MICRO-WORLDS. THESE CURATED SPACES HOLD THEM FRONT AND CENTER, INVITING THE VIEWER INTO A WORLD THAT FEELS BOTH FAMILIAR AND UNEXEPECTED. FOR ME, STILL LIFE IS THE ADULT VERSION OF PLAYING WITH REAL PHYSICAL TOYS LIKE I USED TO DO IN MY CHILDHOOD.
