Audrey Flack’s richly colored still life composition refers to traditional memento mori (a reminder of death) by placing fruit in various stages of ripening. A candle burning in the center indicates the passing of time, while the reflective vessel holding it includes a self-portrait of the artist in her studio. The artistic process is also referenced by the open watercolor palette and the staged still life painting behind it.Photograph Details
