Beach Still Life #2

This piece is from a series of photographs called “Still Lifes in Moving Places” which I created after being selected as one of eight artists in the 2014 Wisconsin Community Supported Arts program. I photographed everyday objects—a glass vase, a pewter creamer, a white enamel pitcher—in places that included Meyers Beach, Copper Falls State Park, and my yard in Washburn deeply covered in snow. These still lifes occurred in places where water, wind, and light had been moving; and, in the making of these images, gratitude for natural beauty and love for the people associated with those objects moved through me.
