Still life — ceramic vessels, citrus branch with fruit, and linen cloth arranged on a wooden table in warm afternoon light

Studio Study — 2024

Objects in Good Light

Still Life Study

Earthenware, fruit, and fabric arranged in the late-afternoon light of a stone-walled room. The study asks what remains when you remove everything but the essential — a vessel, a branch, a fold of linen.

The ceramics are handmade, their glazes uneven and alive. The citrus branch still carries two fruits and a spray of dark leaves. The linen cloth is folded but not arranged — it arrived this way, and the photograph records that arrival.

Light enters from the upper left, casting long shadows across the rough plaster wall behind. The wooden table has its own history — scratches, patina, the memory of use. Nothing here is styled to perfection; everything is allowed to be what it already is.
