Anyone familiar with my facebook or Instagram accounts would see these recent photos I've put up. I just started doing it for fun but I've also now realised that there was a reason of which I wasn't aware when I began. I see now that it was because I've always seen these studies as small souvenirs in an unpretentious way that has been difficult articulate. By putting them in these little 'mise-en-scenes', I am declaring to the world that they are just 'part of the woodwork' of everyday life as it were.
They are 'nothing special', an apt title of a favourite book of mine by Charlotte Jono Beck because they are really just reminders that the ocean is ever-present, no matter where one lives, even Utah. They are postcards, souvenirs of a particular instant in time reminding us of this moment.
They repose standing up in the kitchen as well as on the bookshelves, and once in place, they are domesticated and at home, like small sleeping dogs in one's living room.
Enjoy!
