I’m starting on a new series that will be playing still life against human figure work. The human figure work will involve the objects used in the still life images as props, or at least relate to them in form and pose.

Here are a few examples of first images from the series.

I’ve got a general theme going of things that are broken or things that can do the breaking. Upcoming images will involve things like a coffee mug, some unbroken Ostrich eggs, an orange juicer, and an antique brass candlestick phone. And yes, the one set of garden shears is very definitely what it looks like, but it isn’t, so nobody can really take offense at it unless they absolutely lack a sense of humor and they have a burning desire to be offended.
