Together with the GHOST TOWNS, GARAGE SALE, BOTTLED PAST, and RUSTY THINGS series, VERY STILL LIFES is a reflection on discarded things of the past whose value is not necessarily in the preciousness of the material, practical usefulness, or conventional attractiveness but in the priceless memories they evoke.
“Sonia Melnikova's art seems to float on some poetic altitude of dissolution and phantom images of the past,” — Valery and Rimma Gerlovin, conceptual artists, New York
Available as archival prints on acid-free fine-art rag-textured paper in two standard sizes: 11"x14" image (16"x20" matted, framed or not framed), and 16"x20" image (framed without a mat).
