Statement about AOAP Submitted Artworks 

 

This work explores the role of Mother Nature at is rawest and fundamental. Echoing the tradition of Vanitas Painting this work brings home the transitory nature of life and it's folly reminding us that the earthly pleasures of Mother Nature’s gifts are temporal.
