Unstill Life

This interdisciplinary project aims to reimagine the position of still life in the context of contemporary art. Derived from my memories and relationships with objects that represent my cultural background, this studio-based research traces my interest in visual perception. By intersecting analogue and digital media of art making, this project challenges the notion of stillness and expands on the idea of still life painting. Drawing from ideas of evocative objects, objecthood, stillness and expanded painting, this project opens dimensions of how still life is represented and experienced in contemporary diasporic art
