Artwork Title: Pink Bag with Black Border

Pink Bag with Black Border, 1999

Susan Jane Walp

...When Walp chooses and arranges a knife, newsprint photocopy, bar of soap or cork, I imagine her thinking isn’t much different from Scott Schnepf, another painter of household still life objects. Schnepf appears to pluck and place things he’s found squirreled away among kitchen cabinets and countertops. As if in homage to Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, both artists imbue these quotidian doodads with a magical other worldliness as if transported from their workaday ordinariness.
