Lived In began as a carefully composed still life of rose and stone. Once the photograph was printed, I did something that felt much less controlled: I began stamping smiley faces across the entire background, one by one.

I’m naturally drawn to precision, so the first crooked faces made me wince. But I kept going, allowing the marks to accumulate rather than trying to make them behave.

By the time the background was full, the image had changed completely. What had begun as something composed and orderly had become denser, more playful and more human — a surface carrying the evidence of being worked on, handled and lived with.

Photographic still life printed on archival photographic paper, with acrylic smiley faces individually stamped by hand across the background.
Signed and presented with a 1-inch off-white matboard and framed in gold metal frame with glass.
Created and presented for the Project LAB Showcase, Queensland, Australia, 2023, supported by Sunshine Coast Council.
