PRO INSIGHT You can set up a still life with unique props or found materials, juxtapose them in intricate, clever ways and take all the time in the world to get your desired results. I think about what might look good for days, weeks, and months. I draw sketches of my ideas in a little book I carry with me everywhere. I enjoy searching for and acquiring just the right objects. The care and attention I put into placing and moving each item is enjoyable and meditative. So many decisions go into the perfect tableau. So many visual problems need solving. Whether it is simple and clean or complicated and luxuriant, I am totally in control. PicsArt Monthly | 9
