Three Bowls of Fruit

Ambiguous relationships between objects and space characterize Piper's still life paintings. Bright orange, blue, pink, and green interact with expanses of white that unite the dynamic composition. Piper is said to have been able to make white do almost anything she wished: recede to the background, jump to the foreground, or remain still.
