Artist Statements:
1. Toilet- This still life is of a toilet. I found the toilet in my house. It was perfectly accessible and thus a good subject for still life photography. I didn't really set up the objects because I prefer to take pictures of things in their natural state. I thought the toilet was a good subject because the act of expelling biological waste products is something we can all relate to.
2. Kitchen Utensils- This still life is of a rack of kitchen utensils. I set up each picture up by arranging them in different locations on the table. I also took each picture at different angles. I chose the utensils because they were an easy set of objects to take a photograph of. I also chose them because they were very mundane objects.
3. Glassware- This still life is of some fine china. I set up each picture by arranging the cups in different formations on the table. I chose them as a subject because they were very ornate and thus a good subject for photography. I thought it was a good stylistic choice to set them against a neutral background. It was also relatively easy to make out each filter by seeing how they distort each design on each glass.
4. Dining room table- This still life is of our dining room table. I didn't really arrange the set in any way whatsoever. However, I did try to take each picture at a unique angle. I chose it as a subject because it is a fine looking table.
5. Fruit bowl- This still life is of a fruit bowl. I didn't arrange the fruit in any specific way. However, I did try to take each picture at a unique angle. I chose the fruit bowl as a subject because it is a classic set of objects for art in general, for whatever reason. I wanted to give my own artistic take on it through the lens of digital photography.
