It sits on a pedestal close to a window that gets filtered, rarely direct, light. Rocks, pigs, balls, flowers, binder clips, rabbits, an occasional grape tomato, and other miscellaneous things that I collected through the years, recently ordered on Ebay and\/or picked up on the street, are my actors. They\u2019re also my friends. They have personalities.<\/p>\n I bond less with the perfectly manufactured binder clips, but the other creatures and objects, and especially the rocks, have individual spirits that I respond to. Many have endeared themselves to me\u2014I love the dog with half a tail; I still feel sorry for the bunny that is missing a leg; and for whatever reason, I talk and coo to the pigs. They are my perfect, imperfect collaborators that I work with to create stories of innocence, joy, affectation, impending doom, hope, as well as of other conditions that I see and partake in. Implicit in this work are my values and some commentary about the world in which I live and the world I would like to inhabit.<\/p>\n I started this series shortly before the COVID pandemic in 2019 and I continue it today. As the world is shaken by wars and natural disasters\u2014interrupted by some glimmering good things, too\u2014I go up to the studio on the third floor of my home, and with my \u201clittle friends\u201d try to make sense of it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BIO\u2014<\/strong>Charlee Brodsky, a fine art\/documentary photographer and Ms. Brodsky\u2019s most recent work, The Audacity of the Mundane, is a series of still lifes and was exhibited at The Westmoreland Museum of American Art in 2021 and in 2024 it was exhibited at The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, Sunnyhill Unitarian\/Universalist Church in Mt. Lebanon, PA, and BE Galleries in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. In 2025 the work will be exhibited at the Butler Institute of American Art.
