Description

A surreal still life features three accordion-like objects, each comprised of a black and white exterior with red pleated interiors. Two gloved hands manipulate the objects, which are suspended by thin, nearly invisible wires against a stark black background. The base of the composition is a collection of crumpled, clear plastic, adding texture and a sense of chaotic order. The cool tone of the plastic contrasts with the warm red of the accordion pleats. The dark background enhances the floating, disembodied feel of the objects and hands.
