About the Item
"Train Set," 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, which often featured musical instruments, objects of curiosity, and finely crafted merchandise. At the same time, my carefully disheveled compositions of toys, cameras, and espresso machines allude to slick advertising imagery. Finally, these contemporary still lifes reflect our nostalgia for obsolete tech and yearning for the latest enchanted gadgets.
This colorful photograph appeals to a broad audience, not just children, and looks fabulous in living rooms, playrooms, and public spaces. The Speak & Spell, train set, and Guitar Hero bring back fond memories, or fuel one’s curiosity. The addition of contemporary devices like a Wii controller and small drone, keep the vanitas reference fresh and appeal to all ages. This still life composition also includes a Fisher Price clock and record player, two cameras, and electric scissors (grown-up toy!).
