oil on canvas, 50x60cmAlthough the unusual birds-eye perspective gives a clear view over the still life, the far end of the arrangement seems to start to dissolve into the background. This ephemeral quality creates a harmonious dialogue between the objects. An undulated rhythm dominates, as many of the objects have curved contours, counterbalanced by the chequered blue Dutch tea towel. The magical setting is enhanced by the fish that seem to look as though they are alive, creating a fascinating play on the still.
