Emily Dickinson’s short poem resonated with me at this time, and I included it in some of the drawings:
‘In this short lifeThat only lasts an hourHow much – how little – is
Within our power’
In the still life, the bowl, shell and pears are arranged vertically, one above the other, remembering a Japanese aesthetic I had seen the previous year in Japan. The paper is from Moulin de Laroche paper mills, France. With its rough surface and asymmetrical shape, it becomes an essential part of the work complementing the realism of the objects.’ – Thornton Walker, 2023
