Post-Cereal

Enlarged pieces of popcorn spread across a pale horizontal field, their folded surfaces interrupted by alphabet beads and small coloured forms.

​

Ridges, hollows and thin edges emerge through warm creams, pale yellows and soft shadows. Smooth beads sit beside these irregular shapes, introducing distinct accents of colour.

Something ordinarily eaten almost without looking becomes unexpectedly intricate.

Popcorn can recall cinema, shared snacks or an evening at home. Those associations remain lightly present, without locating the objects in a particular scene. The scattered letters and beads allow other kinds of handling and recollection to enter.

​

The wide composition gives the eye room to linger. An everyday pleasure begins to take on the uncertain distance of memory: familiar in its details, yet detached from the moment in which it was experienced.
