Description
Marinara shows Stewart Lees working with focus and intent, building a still life through combination rather than display. The title points to a process of layering, where elements are added, adjusted and brought into balance, much like a recipe refined over time. The composition is compact and inward-looking, drawing the viewer close rather than offering a broad, open reading.
