Gall recalls being particularly inspired by a quote from Sue Grafton’s mystery crime novel \u003cem\u003eA is for Alibi\u003c\/em\u003e, about walking into a room and inhaling the familiar scents of Lemon Pledge and bourbon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGall created what appears at first glance to be an all-too-familiar image of a nondescript dining room set. But when one looks longer and allows oneself to be seduced by the late afternoon light, the objects are free to transcend their banality. The scene is transformed into a still from a memory, and the lemony fresh scent of a newly polished table creeps into the nostrils of the viewer, leading us to a place that is both comfortable and contains an ominous hint that where there is light there is shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42514056708230,"sku":"L0601","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/5399\/1302\/files\/Aperture-L0601-1_7fd74ab3-4155-46d6-a7dd-c611e78a491b.jpg?v=1763775439","url":"https:\/\/store.aperture.org\/products\/at-a-home-in-spring-lake-n-y-1992","provider":"Aperture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
