Illusion and the conventions of realism have been intertwined in visual representation since the earliest surviving commentaries on art—by Plato, Aristotle, Philostratus, and Pliny—and have held particular relevance to the production of still life at various points in its history. However, for all its tricks of the eye and verisimilitude, still life goes beyond simple representations of inanimate objects, reflecting—or quietly resisting—ideas of value, importance, and hierarchies in art and culture.

In this context, and other trivial matters brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by Louise Bristow and Russell Webb that pay close attention to what might otherwise be overlooked, and elevate subjects that may not typically command significance or prestige.
