Still Lives of My Room

Still Lives of My Room

Fyle, Lauren

Artist statement: My work is about being present with the innate beauty of the world around me. Due to the pandemic, I spent an eternity of time examining the various pieces of clutter within my own tiny world gathering dust. Sitting there, on my bed each evening I'd contemplate the piles of what appeared to be junk creeping up, there was a fleeting beauty to them, even though they were the same meaningless items I'd seen over-and-over again.  In painting and drawing them, I cemented these little snapshots in my mind permanently, along with the emotions I experienced as I captured their essence within my work.
