Melissa plays with the classical nature of Still Life whilst giving it a contemporary childhood twist. Her scenes consist of a traditional white sheet placed with culinary objects, lit from the side or above with a Lego man trying to navigate the terrain.  Lego has always been a favourite toy and identifies with the big kid in all of us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMelissa’s influences are from everyday living, from the sardine tin and salt and pepper shakers on the table, an image taken by her husband, to the current novel she may be reading. She also finds inspiration from the work of Angus McDonald and Stanislava Pinchuk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melissa Purdy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710845272215,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/6835\/3687\/files\/IMG_0812-MelissaCreighton.jpg?v=1776825940","url":"https:\/\/www.thetoowoombagallery.com\/products\/melissa-purdy-keen-as-to-build-lego","provider":"The Toowoomba Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
