About the Item

"Chair, Napkins and Sheets" by David Halliday, 2020, archival pigment print, edition of 10 35 3/4" X 22 1/4" Image size 38.25 x 24.75 inch paper size Contemporary Still Life Color photograph of Chair upholstered in neutral linen piled high with white bed sheets. The elegant profile has led us to nickname this image "Marie Antoinette". David Halliday’s photographic series, Quotidian Life, is inspired by the mundanity of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. His series of still-life photographs allude to normal life with a stack of paper on a table nodding to the junk mail that accumulates. The stack of fabric on a chair reminds the viewer of the laundry undone in the bedroom. David Halliday uses the ordinary of everyday life to highlight the beauty of life. David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.
