After Coffee She Left Me

Description

Limited Edition Reproduction of 100 Only

I was eating a raisin cookie one morning and I thought, I know, maybe I should paint this. So, I set about mocking up a still-life arrangement using raisin cookies and changing things, adding stuff and moving things around, as you do. I bought the dark chocolate treats with white-pipped icing from the local supermarket. The spotted plate came from the kitchen as did the tray, which also came from IKEA. And I made the coffee! I thought the half-eaten cake and cookie and two half-drunk cups of coffee were all that remained after two people had met. A moment captured in time – hence the title. Next time the objects I’m going to put on the tray will be an ashtray with cigarette butts, a spilt glass of bourbon with melting ice cubes, a shoulder holster with revolver and a half-eaten Big Mac. I’m going to call it – ‘One day in Guatemala the FBI arrested my father.’
