I occasionally make a still life when I'm out walking with Kayla on an early morning poodlewalk. The materials used in the open studio are what I find washed up on the local beaches. This picture is a recent example of such an object:
This glass bottle with shells growing on it was lying on the sand on western edge of Depledge Beach, west of Victor Harbor. The picture opens up a world (the littoral zone) and it discloses the various elements within that world's network of interconnections. The artwork stands in a particular place and in specific relation to that which is configured around it. So argues Heidegger in his essay, 'The Origin of the Work of Art'.
