Still Balancing

For the final piece of studio photography we had the task of a still life series. My co-student Vera and I were fascinated by stacked and balancing stilllifes. We looked for rather rough leftover materials, metal and wood, from the workshop. We combined these found objects with organic materials such as fruits and vegetables. The changing colour backgrounds and the curtain in the background were intended to reinforce the impression of a stage and therefore create an artistic effect. We decided the best combination of raw material, food and floor colour by trial and error while working in the studio. The balance sculptures all hold without any aids and were a lot of fun to do.
