Description

This black and white diptych composition pairs a still life of five slender ceramic vessels with a portrait of an older woman wearing eyeglasses. On the left, two black and three off-white handmade bottles stand tall against a bright background, exhibiting smooth matte finishes and varied heights. On the right, an older woman with dark hair and glasses wears a black long-sleeved top, posing with her hands resting gently in front of her against a dark ground. The lighting is high-contrast and directional, accentuating the tactile forms of both the ceramic objects and the portrait subject. Photographed by Carlton Davis.
