Vessels

Venue:
Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery
Community:
Nelson

Before breaking the rules, you must first understand them. Emerging artist Amelia Ford works within the confines of traditional still life painting–masterfully manipulating oils to capture the shine of an apple, or the folds of bright silk, or light through broken glass–but it’s in the composition of her subjects, rather than the items themselves, where the deeper meaning lies.
