Still Life II
The Still Life Pendants are physical interpretations of still life game paintings, popular in the 17th Century. The pink cubic zirconia is representative of a canvas, a frame out of which the contents are spilling. The hanging pendant mirrors the function of a painting, except it is hung on a chain as opposed to a wall.
A dead pig hangs off the central stone mimicking the dead game in paintings, but movement adds life back to the animals. Droplets of blood red, lab-grown rubies dangle abjectly from the animals, almost like tassels. They are a punctuation of the framework, and are decorative as well as symbolic. The synthetic colours are unnatural, and are a dive into a dreamlike interpretation.
