Kristen Mayer: Geometric Precision

Prop stylist and designer Kristen Mayer melds quotidian materials into distinctive outlines in her series of geometric flat lays. The multi-media artist, who is based in New Haven, Connecticut, gathers crackers, sticks, spaghetti, herbs, and other common raw materials and arranges them in circles and squares. The finesse comes in her use of negative space, creating implied borders lines that help complete the shape without a full density of “ingredients.”
