  This group of still lifes returned in each case to an older photograph and expanded on the ideas or feelings the earlier picture had evoked. I was also interested in creating these pictures in a kind of theatrical, proscenium-stage presentation. Thus they were vertical and in a standing, presentational format. Arranging the still life objects in a vertical space was a special challenge of this project.

Early prints were 20" x 16" dye-transfer prints, with a few Evercolor prints at the end of the project (after Kodak had discontinued the dye-transfer process). Current prints are digital. Originals were 5" x 4" color negatives.
