An intense focus on essential form is found in modernist still life above all in the work of Morandi and it is his spirit that provides a continuity with history for the sculptural and photographic work of Jane Simpson. The palate of whites is evident in her ‘Milk Photos’, serial works in which household objects are semi-submersed in milk, the closely focussed image cropped to suggest a continuous shallow sea of abandoned kitchen implements. Her plinth or shelf mounted arrangements of bottles and other vessels are at once hommages to Morandi and uniquely obsessive studies featuring generic still life objects, manufactured or hand made, in ceramic or rubber, monochrome or multicoloured
