Drawing on inspiration from Hiroshi Sugimoto and Abelardo Morell, Pillsbury's photographs invite viewers to reflect upon how they choose to fill their spaces and time. Demonstrating a talent for making the familiar seem strange, Pillsbury draws attention to the fundamental ingredients of existence, transforming overlooked aspects of reality into both subject and object.
