From Tim Merrett: "...the Caravaggio is rather an intense work, the basket of fruit past its prime hanging precariously over a table, suggesting ideas of fragility and memory -Caravaggio only painted one true still life painting, this particular piece in the show however, I cropped from a much larger religious figurative work -I attached the found pieces of wood to the top and bottom in hopes of pausing or locking the image in its place as if to suggest the basket of fruit hasn't fallen yet and sometimes time is on our side"
