“Still Life”–12″x 18″ oil pastels on paper
Artist Statement: With the use of frenzied texture, tonality of color, and awkward positioning, I attempt to offer up a glimpse beyond an unsettled tabletop, where an unnatural arrangement of two pieces of fruit, seemingly hovering, offers a perplexing look into gravity, shadows, and light. I use repetitive and patterned slashes of white tints in depicting a questionable source of light that is both illuminating and off-putting.
