Orchard Vessels, Study No. 07 // 2024

Overview

One pear, two vessels, and a cloth that remembers every fold. The composition was found, not built — the fruit simply rolled to its mark.

The companion to the Morning Table, made in the same week of sittings. Where its sister plate is generous, this one is strict: three shapes, one shadow.

“Restraint is the whole lesson of the still life. Remove one thing, then another, until the remaining three cannot be parted.”
