Inside/Outside looks with curiosity at the world around us—at the stuff we keep, the stuff we throw away, and the stuff we are surrounded by. These paintings and drawings—still lifes and urban landscapes—remind us to pay attention to the forms and accidental compositions of familiar objects and mundane scenes. The still life paintings, with their intrusions of rubbish and recyclables like plastic bags, hint at the tradition of memento mori, reminding us of our mortality. Inside/Outside invites the viewer to pause and notice the strange beauty of our everyday world.
