“Are all images not drawn”? David Minton. I do not believe that the discrete definitions of the forms of art production have become interchangable. Mostly I believe that the discrete defintitions have meaning because they are useful.

I have been reading this winter’s issue (143) of Frieze magazine which is focused on still-life photography. I was particularly struck by the article by Chris Wiley “Depth of Focus” which looks at some current US photo artists and their manipulations and play at the edges of these definitions.

My own work often skips around and across these boundaries and I am working on a series of images which combine quite tradtional still life painting with photgraphic companion images. So far, I am clear in my own mind how these two parts speak to each other, but less clear about how to display them so that they best convey that conversation.
