Tybee Forks and Starts (A) 1978

"Tybee Forks and Starts (A)" is a 1978 photograph by Jan Groover. The image depicts a fork and knife, arranged in a minimalist style. This piece, like much of Groover's work, is characterized by its stark simplicity and focus on everyday objects. The photographer uses sharp contrasts and direct lighting to accentuate the forms of the cutlery, creating a sense of geometric abstraction. Groover's work challenged conventional photographic genres, exploring still-life and everyday objects with an objective lens. Her work remains relevant today, reminding us of the beauty and intrigue in the mundane.
