Josephine Halvorson’s paintings emerge from chance or repeated encounters with objects the artist comes across while wandering and traveling. Her practice often takes place outdoors, naturally relating to daylight, geography, and season. She is drawn to things which have little apparent value—objects and spaces that have been, or may be, forgotten. Her most recent body of work centers on still life and memento mori, artistic genres that, for Halvorson, “hover between liveliness and decay.” In "Station Meter," seemingly mundane details—the peeling of paint, the grain of wood, the numbers displayed on the defunct meter—offer the object a quiet dignity in the face of obsolescence. Sharing the same air and hours with a subject, Halvorson documents the subtle shifts of shadow and light, finding within them latent expressions and buried meanings.
