03 / BEHIND THE IMAGE
An orthographic camera, carefully angled objects and layered textile patterns flatten the space until the image reads as a graphic still life, almost a paper cut-out. Then the wine and water begin to sway, and the depth quietly gives itself away.

Look closer and the weave of every fabric is there: toile, gingham, pinstripe, check.

A Conversation with Hockney
The exploration extends into a moving homage to David Hockney’s etching Postcard of Richard Wagner with a Glass of Water (1973), a work that plays with the relationship between a flat image and an object placed upon it.

Rebuilt in 3D, the water begins to sway, and Wagner’s face shifts behind the glass. A familiar image, given a pulse.
