Original artwork description:

Here is a still-life of a mallet resting over a cracked floor.

It is one of the tools used to manufacture the canvas that the painting sits on; therefore it is meta (self-referential), in the sense that it celebrates the origin to which the painting came about. Emphasis is placed on the handle, in an almost tilt-shifted effect, to draw-in and invite the viewer.

Materials used:

Oil on Canvas
