Jeanette May is known for her “Tech Vanitas” series is inspired by 17th Century Dutch vanitas paintings. Her still lifes embrace luxury, honor design, and acknowledge the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures. She utilizes digital photography to capture precarious arrangements of domestic technological ephemera: a bowl heaping with flip phones balances atop a dot matrix printer. May’s images of anachronistic technologies confront still life’s traditional tension between temptation and rejection of worldly goods.
