Synopsis
Michiko Kon: Still Lifes presents a unique artist's photographs of the impossible objects she has created in her studio. Kon skillfully creates a permanent record of impermanent objects: a garter belt fashioned from fish; a pair of melons covered with octopus tentacles; a mid-calf boot made of shrimp, among many other nondelectables. An exhibition is currently touring worldwide.

Review
"Michiko Kon doesn't disguise the impermanence of her objects. Instead, she delicately balances the fragility of her sculpture with a substantial photographic technique capable of remarkably subtle distinctions of texture and tone."--Flash Art
"What Michiko Kon does with the natural and quotidian speaks volumes about life and death."--Art in America
