Gin Feast is a memorable statement piece for the modern collector. Something to sip gin by and while away the hours - there are so many hidden gems to find in the piece. Everything was lovingly curated, arranged and photographed in my studio. The butterflies/insects were photographed separately and added in post production.

Lemons were included in so many Dutch still life paintings - in the 17th century they were a luxury, and the Dutch also like to flavour their spirits with peel. The pears represent abundance and feminine form. Gold fish are symbols of good luck and fortune, although one wonders if this particular fish is so lucky. As I photographed more still life, I enjoyed incorporating little quirks, like mum's yellow cat pepper shaker that is broken, but too loved to throw away. The sand timer and dead butterfly both signify the temporary nature of any abundance.

Enjoy, and 'Memento Mori.'
