Fake Irises

This is the second of the still lives on a white background, so that the object truly 'represents only itself'.  There was no possibility of cheating, blending stuff with a background, distracting the eye or using visual tricks to create an illusion of space.

I used the fake irises because I love the juxtaposition of the real with the unreal. Also, they don't die.

When this was exhibited in Melbourne and Adelaide I was told it was not representative of my work, whatever that is.
