To continue...this is the second of the still lives on a white background, so that the object truly 'represents only itself'. Fortunately, we didn't need the money as not one of them sold (even in Melbourne) and they were all three very difficult. 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 fake irises both with a nod to Van Gogh and also 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. Perhaps I should just stop at a good seller and go on copying myself forever. |
