Still Life with Kangaroo Skull
“Still Life with Kangaroo Skull brings the Memento Vivere tradition firmly into the Australian context. Featuring a kangaroo skull and emu feathers the work emulates the traditional Dutch style. The skull sits upon an antique book, flanked by an hourglass which has almost run out of sand, a pewter jug and a Roemer glass. Roemer (romer or rummer) glasses featured often in Dutch paintings from the 15th to 17th centuries. Usually green and colour and featuring protuberances on the stem to aid grip, the glass featured here is a faithful reproduction. The glass is half full of kombucha, a brewed beverage known for its health benefits, which many turned to making during the pandemic. Also present are a pair of black disposable gloves, previously only seen in health care facilities, they became widely used and difficult to source as every day citizens began using (and hoarding) personal protective equipment to protect themselves from the virus. No animals were harmed in the making of this work.” Bree DiMattina
