In this series of work the viewer is presented with something old and something new – a fusion of the traditional themes of still life painting; the transience of life, ephemerality and symbols of abundance, with contemporary photographic compositions and the rising trend of foraging and slow food horticulture.
“(These) high contrast images contain the same bounteous beauty of a ‘Banquet Piece Still Life’. The contrast lies in the withering and drying plant foods that are considered, demure and reflect a gentler approach to food, life and death. (Max’s)… photographs may be less dramatic than the Seventeenth Century oil paintings, but are reflective, rich and profoundly beautiful.” – Heather Griffin, 2018.
