This week's post is inspired by an old friend of mine, Corey Seeholzer. All three of the exhibitors' work remind me of Corey's photography. Check out his photo blog
He has an amazing, quirky style. Whether he includes models (by the way, wonnnnderful lighting skills!) or takes photos of environments void of people, his images provide a depth of storytelling and mystery. These artists provide the same feeling of wonderment with their still lives.

This is such a simple still life and is so beautiful. The dark green/blue walls and the cords with the singular suitcase makes me giggle with enjoyment of the unknown. Questioning the intent and who may have previously been in the environment is such a beautiful mystery to try and decipher. This work reminds me a lot of Corey's environmental still lives, mentioned above. Kudos, everyone!

Here is a prime example of the still life after everyone has left the party. Letinsky is a Canadian artist who was commissioned to photograph tabletops in historic Roman Palazzi during one month this past spring. Each photograph in the series provides a different, interesting story and is wonderfully photographed. I love wanting to know more and I find myself continuing to look at these photographs to decipher the information that has been provided so that I can learn more of the mystery.

Beaaautiful! This still life's mirrors bring amazing visual interest to an otherwise empty room, notwithstanding the cot. The reflections of light on the wall remind me of snow falling. Well, maybe snow, maybe glitter. Either way, there is a dreamlike quality to the image-sans people.
