The End of the World

A still life of everyday objects to which the artist is attached - books, music cds, flowers from the garden, a cup of coffee etc. - slowly disappears under a blanket of white powder that falls like snow.

Like the old Dutch still life painting genre Memento Mori- reminding us of the transience of our life and attachments in the face of inevitable death - here too that awareness of ephemerality exists. But here it is compounded by the suggestions of destruction and of ecological disaster caused by human intervention.
