An ode to long breakfasts, mismatched crockery, and the people who make an ordinary table feel like home.
The idea
For an issue devoted to gathering, I was asked to capture the intimacy of a shared meal without showing the people around it. Their presence lives in the details: the half-full glass, the extra orange, a chair pulled out for a friend.
Making it happen
I sketched objects from my own kitchen and let their proportions become a little exaggerated. The blue striped vase anchors the composition, with a lively coral-and-cream tablecloth underneath. A few loose lines keep the scene spontaneous and lived in.
