Square 1:1 frame, full-bleed opaque editorial still-life photograph, finish continuous to every edge. An oblique close view of an ochre wooden studio bench with dry muted paint blue smears travelling from the left and stopping dead at a wiped clean square offset to the right. Inside the square sits a plain warm white ceramic plate with bread, cheese and one fresh basil leaf. Two used brushes rest parallel beyond the wiped boundary, and a small damp sponge sits at the lower edge with a glistening wiped arc. Soft midday window light, visible wood grain, dry smear edges. Plate and bench plain and unmarked, no lettering, no people.
