Tables
About this artwork
Artist Hadley Northrop takes inspiration from a blurry, usually passed-over background image of a restaurant. The abstract streaks of red, viridian, and white forms over time reveal recognizable objects: perhaps an orchid, napkins, a coffee samovar, and clearly, tables with red fabric tablecloths, says Hadley. Restaurants, and in particular takeaway meals, have come to mean so much in this year of the pandemic - both a luxurious adventure and a familiar comfort.
