Suspenseful Still Lifes By Aaron Tilley And Kyle Bean

“A telltale thump of the heart, the flush feeling that starts in your chest and spreads to your fingertips, the tightening of muscles and the quickening of breath” Titled ‘In Anxious Anticipation‘, the playful series of still lifes evokes a feeling of suspense, capturing everyday moments just before something is about to happen. The images accompany a story on the interconnection between mind and body during an adrenaline rush and writer Jordan Kushins describes the feeling as follows: “A telltale thump of the heart, the flush feeling that starts in your chest and spreads to your fingertips, the tightening of muscles and the quickening of breath: the effects of adrenaline are positively pulse-pounding, but the physical whoosh we feel in our bodies actually starts in our brains.”
