About the Item
“Gray Typewriter,” from 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 whimsical compositions of typewriters, cameras, and cell phones allude to slick advertising imagery. Finally, these contemporary still lifes reflect our nostalgia for vintage tech and yearning for the latest enchanted gadgets.
My color photographs appeal to a broad audience and look fabulous in living rooms, offices, and public spaces. The coffee percolator, boom box, and egg timer bring back fond memories, or fuel one’s curiosity. The addition of contemporary devices keeps the subject matter fresh.
