Artwork Description

Photograph on paper

Signed certificate of authenticity.

This is my most elaborate still life to date. The flowers chosen - the orchids, lilies and roses...they screamed luxury and beauty. Adding in giant helpings of fruit and the story began to build. A narrative of abundance. The lush natural scene, attracting all manner of life to it. From bees to snails, frogs, lizards, butterflies, spiders. Pollinators and predators, the whole circle of life. Each animal, each flower has it's own special symbolism. That's what I love about still life - the secret language. The skull teaches us to enjoy our abundance. It is everywhere. We are here for a short time. Memento vivere is Latin for 'remember that you live.' I enjoy framing my work in curtains. It adds to the theatre of the piece. All the world is a stage.
