Art history in the kitchen

I am borrowing food, objects and furniture from the house to recreate artworks. I have always found the still life genre very fascinating and I am having a lot of fun with this, trying to capture the right feel, light and composition. It's amazing how many things you can find in your own house that are so similar to objects even from centuries ago. It makes you wonder about their history and how they ended up in the artist's composition...and your own house!
