Still Life Style: Simple Materials

Work by paper and set designer Alexis Facca

For today’s edition of Still Life Style, we revel in the beauty of simple forms. Yet there’s nothing simple about these images! The artistry involved in arranging compositions featuring materials such as wood, marble, metal and sponge can’t be denied, and when you add a pastel palette, the objects look good enough to eat! Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time on Pinterest, and here are some of my favorite still life-style finds…
