Morning Table, Study No. 04 // 2024

Overview

Breakfast things left exactly where the morning abandoned them. The teapot holds its heat a little longer than the hour deserves.

The first table study of the volume, arranged in a single north-facing sitting. Nothing here was styled twice — the cloth fell once, and the plate was made.

“A table that has been eaten from is a portrait of everyone who sat at it. I photograph the sitters by their absence.”
