Nature Morte presented three contemporary artists who utilize the still life as a central part of their process. Sharon Core takes her inspiration from the traditional still life, creating uncanny facsimiles of hyperrealistic paintings. Miranda Lichtenstein frequently uses the still life format as a means to examine and deconstruct the photographic process.

Each artist in Nature Morte honors and subverts the traditions of the still life genre while exploring how photography has influenced it.
