Memento mori

CreatorSteve BushTitleMemento moriDate2020MediumDigital printMixed mediaDimensions48.5cm x 48cm x 6cmArtist StatementThis photograph was taken in the derelict School of Art building in Billinudgel, northern New South Wales. The empty chair not only suggests the absence of someone, but in its form and colouring I see a human skull. To me this image brings to mind classical memento mori and vanitas paintings – still lifes that remind the viewer of the impermanence of all things and the fleeting nature of our existence.Accession NumberG2021.17.5Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
