I haven't spoken of the Morandi show I saw at the Met when I was in New York. It was one of those experiences that feel so sacred that to try to put words to it feels diminishing...
There were a couple of small shell paintings in the show, and when I returned home I realized I had two shells exactly like the one's in one of his paintings. So I set them up in still life and did this painting after his. He is a master of neutrals, understatement, silence, tremulous line.
