2018
About the Item
My “Tech Vanitas” photography series embraces our love for beautifully designed, vintage machines and anxiety over new technology. My still lifes clearly reference 17th Century Dutch vanitas paintings and their air of craft guilds, international trade, and luxury goods. At the same time, my carefully disheveled compositions of phonographs, clocks, and radios allude to slick advertising imagery. Finally, these contemporary still lifes reflect our nostalgia for obsolete tech and yearning for the latest enchanted gadgets.
These colorful photographs appeal to a broad audience and look fabulous in living rooms, conference rooms, and public spaces. The ViewMaster, floppy disks, and wax cylinder recording bring back fond memories, or fuel one’s curiosity. The addition of contemporary devices, such as the electric firefly lantern with BlueTooth, keeps the subject matter fresh and extends the appeal to younger viewers.
This photograph is an Archival Pigment Print on Cotton Fiber Paper, printed in a limited-edition of 10. The standard print sizes are 36 x 24” and 24 x 16” but custom sizes are available. The photograph is signed and numbered on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Prints are sold unframed; framing may be arranged for an additional cost.
