Still life - Before pharmacies, there were kitchens.

$1,200.00

A grey ceramic pot — the kind that holds dried herbs, ginger root, things passed down without being written. A small honey pot tipped on its side, golden and generous. A single clove of garlic in the foreground, painted with the kind of attention reserved for things that actually work.

This still life began as an antibacterial study — an imagined arrangement of what one might reach for at the first sign of illness. Ancient remedies that predate modern medicine by thousands of years and will likely outlast it.

Painted on linen in oil. The materials will survive longer than the cold ever could.

Oil on linen. 41 x 50.5 cm. 400+ year lifespan. Original, one only. Unframed.
