Still Life will be featured in the next issue of Q Magazine, a quarterly published in Amsterdam which drops today. The theme of this issue is pensions (and subsequently life planning, etc.) so they thought my series would fit nicely in there. Here's the tear sheet of the opening page, and the blurb they wrote which they tried to translate for me from Dutch:
Makeable Life
Those freeze frame moments in a man or woman's life are all to recognizable. Down to the smallest detail. From school to honeymoon to first child. Young Canadian photographer Carmen Cheung has taken these moments to an almost cliche like extreme. How special is a person's life. How real are our choices. The series STILL LIFE (2010) is like a mirror to the soul that softly asks one to consider what is the best path along the road we all travel.
(Close enough :) I was told it sounds poetic in Dutch.)
