Two friends had recently bought a house, and I helped them decorating all the rooms before they moved in. This is the front living room. Above the fireplace were the shadows left by what was obviously an oval shaped mirror. Also there was what we jokingly called a banjo, but of course it can only have been a Barometer. I stretched the image; one can tell by the shape of the fire grate. I had a picture that I had done previously but not used of the blister strips. I had arranged them on a piece of silver foil and took a few photographs. Looking for something to replace the view through the window, I tried a few images and put the strip picture in, and it fitted perfectly, looking incongruous and surreal. Finally I wanted something else to balance the composition. I thought of the drinking glass (pills…water…) which is of course not relatively sized. It took me some time and effort to make the glass transparent and credible.
