About the Artist

Melanie Parke’s imagery of rustic kitchen tables, dish shelves, entryways, and window nooks congregate to suggest snug gathering spots. Welcome respites of interiority. Set up with recognizable still life identifiers - a stem casually placed in a glass jar, fruit loosely strewn on a table top, ceramic tumblers or a teapot - a convivial human presence is noted not through bodies but close narratives between objects. Proximities between a window and its reflection on the table top establishes that light is the main character in Melanie’s work. Refractions move across a surface and the effect makes a chimera of things - a mutation - lifting the weight of the familiar into a fresh reverie.
