Christopher Joy and Zachary Keeting interview artist Anna Plesset about her exhibition A Still Life at UNT/TLED, NY, on view through February 24, 2013.

In work that effortlessly melds painting, sculpture, and installation through multiple instances of trompe l'oeil, Plesset investigates shifting notions of observation, memory and history. Inspired by her discovery of the American Impressionist painter Lilla Cabot Perry (during a residency in a studio once inhabited by Perry) Plesset remarks that the exhibition is a "reconstitution of three different histories: the presumed history of Lilla Cabot Perry, my own history there [in the studio] and the history that we're told or not told."
