Laid Still — Still Table

This body of work marks the beginning of my exploration of photographing domestic objects within a studio setting. By selecting items from my domestic surroundings, I examine the “things” that pass through my hands and quietly shape everyday life. These familiar objects carry an intimacy born from use and accumulation, inviting viewers to consider their own relationships with household commodities. I construct a space in which to frame each still life, then photograph it by activating the materials of everyday life. Throughout these images, experiments with paint pigment among the objects introduce a new element to the composition, creating an additional character within these nonlinear narratives. And establishes the relationship between photography and painting.
