A note to readers: I changed nothing about any of these scenes before photographing them*.
*Exception: in the piece “?????,” I moved the three elements off of the cutting board, which my husband was trying to use, over to the counter beside the cutting board, in order that he could make the dinner presented in the piece “Rejected,” but I maintained the elements’ spatial relationship and orientations.

“I Was in a Hurry and Cheetah Didn’t Mind,” clothing on tile, Child B 2025
“Someone Found the Headlamp which Now Points to the Original Owners’ Choice to Install Built-ins on Top of Shag Carpet,” Lighting element on wood floor, Anonymous 2025

As always, when you click the heart for “like” at the top of the email or in the app, or comment, or share, or restack, or subscribe, it matters to me personally. Thanks for keeping me writing (and finding the art around me).xc
This whole collection could be titled Surreal Childhood in Splendor. Your miniature Dali & Picasso have quite the un-still-life game going. Each moment is a work of art.
