'Fresh Conversations' connects table arrangements with narratives of play and landscape. "In response to traditions in still life painting I aimed in this work to raise the image of temporality and lightness and to bring a certain joie de vivre to the site and conversation of the table. Where traditional still life tableaux engage the viewer in allegories of wealth, power and mortality, these works explore playful exuberance and suggest ways for living." Marian Drew 2015
