I came across her series “Revisiting Rockwell” and was
intrigued by her recreations of the famous paintings. Rockwell himself created the paintings based
off photographs he took and now to have this artist recreate them into the original
format the inspiration started has an interesting aspect to it. While she could be seen as “copying” the original
artist, I am drawn to the attention to detail as well as the modern context she
has added to them. Her work here is a
bit motivating for me and how I can use the inspirations of the past but add in
the modern elements for the compositions in this project.

This photographer’s project “Modern Groceries” stuck out to
me because the concept of her project is very similar to mine. She uses commons foods and arranges them in compositions
that reflect Dutch still life paintings.
The lighting and symbolism of the composition allows the viewer to naturally
explore as well as interpret what it means to them. I am also attracted to the work as the longer
you view it, the more details can emerge (bugs, wrappers, etcs…). While it is a bit discouraging to find a project
very similar to that I am exploring, I am remaining positive and using to aid
in my research.
