Still Life

Still Life

Contemporary iterations of the still-life genre are presented through artworks manifesting impermanence, memory, slippages, familiarity, and the everyday. For nearly two years, we have experienced the still life – living in a time and space that is surreal, strange, familiar, edgy, and banal all at the same time. Searching for comfort in familiar things and feeling time pass, perhaps more slowly, we have looked in at ourselves and out at others through the convenience of an illuminated screen. We have learned to hold loved ones in our hearts and at a distance. Feeling the weight of our mortality has been difficult. Even though life is/was different, things keep moving along. After all, it is still life. Participating artists include: Sawsan AlSaraf Conrad Bakker Lauren Bartone Erik Benson Melissa Cooke Benson Don Decker Polly Gaillard Gabrielle Garland Michelle Grabner Breehan James Brad Killam Laura Letinsky Jesse McLean
