Welcome to “A Glitch in the System”, a series of non-traditional still life photographs inspired by collage artist Nicola Kloosterman’s series “Shadowplay”. This series is my response to quarantine, using still life photographs as a way of navigating through the strange times we are living in. Using objects usually found around and in homes I wanted to put a spin on the traditional still life. The locations of these images were taken in locations I found myself most in quarantine, these became my safe spaces or, if you will, my breathing space. By editing the still life photographs how I would physically make a collage, I am challenging the tradition of the still life. I welcome the viewer to step into the intricate compositions and enter a new world, escape the everyday stresses and examine life in a new way.
