My grandmother used to live by the words ‘Want not, waste not’ and I fondly remember her sparse but comfortable home where I grew up in my early years. This painting reflects my search for meaning and my desire to connect with the viewer a still life of discarded beauty grounded in the mastery of traditional methodologies with narrative and mystery. An allegorical work depicting the opposite to the Dutch masters rich displays of luxury, used and discarded objects symbolizing our desire for material things.
