Tybee Forks and Starts (N)
Date1978
Label TextIn 1973 Jan Groover abandoned painting for photography because she felt that "With photography I didn't have to make things up, everything was already there." Her simplistic reasoning does not, however, convey the complexity of her images or the conceptual underpinnings of her work. A main subject she has explored throughout her career is the still life, a format which allows her the freedom to arrange and juxtapose a variety of objects-from fruit and utensils to toys and flowers-and produce stunning compositions both in black and white and color.
