Inspiration: Singular harmonies: an idea of the cabinet of curiosities “In my inner world of still life, the cabinet of curiosities is a room apart. Between thematic association and chance encounter, between refined taxonomy and improbable telescoping, it is a question of building a singular harmony (a beauty), a rebus or a story to be invented by the spectator. Taking the opposite view of accumulation, it is a question of evoking an idea of the cabinet of curiosities in which the composition reduced to a few objects gives each one its singularity.” Thierry Genay
“Beautiful like a chance encounter on a dissecting table, a sewing machine and an umbrella.” Comte de Lautréamont, Chants de Maldoror (Canto VI, stanza 1)
