Jeffrey Ripple, 1962

Many of the flowers and herbs that appear in Ripple’s work come directly from his garden.

Other objects in his work come from his admiration for Spanish Baroque painting’s depiction of materials and items as "almost spiritual".

By lighting and arranging his subjects well he aims to give them that spiritual dimension.
