The Suspended Moment

“Leaning into the still life genre and inspired by the Dutch master oil painters I have created a series of still-life vignettes in my underwater studio. 

My execution contradicts the idea of the ‘still life’ by animating the scene, encouraging some of my objects to take flight so as to appear to defy the rules of gravity. In doing so they take on a life of their own.”
