What first appears as a random selection of items can actually be viewed as a host of influences in Furr's life at the time as an art student at De Montfort University and as signifiers about what was to come later in the artists career regarding subject matter and genres. In the second year of his fine art degree at Leicester Polytechnic Furr, searching for subject matter, harked back to the fruit still lives he started painting when he first discovered oil paint, age 15, through an introduction by his grandmother who used to paint flowers. Even though many of his contemporaries at college were refelcting interests in the conceptual as a young student Furr didn't stray from the figurative. This painting is a depiction of various objects that make up a still life reflecting some of his interests and aspirations at that time. In the top left hand corner a postcard appears of one of Morandi's quietly observed still lives with their muted tones. Another morandi postcard gets tucked behind a dolls head. The dolls head was borrowed from a fellow student who was painting giant pictures of toys nearby. The garlic and onions were included as a food objects and for their natural shapes and longevity . They not only connected with his early fruit still lives but would connect with his future food still lives of cheese, fish and berries. Centrally placed next to the food is a bottle of wine on whose label Furr put's his signature and painting date 1988. Furr goes on to paint wine in 2017 "Le Tache" and others. The colleges anatomical skull model was borrowed as the classic Vanitas symbol and would also preempt his later real skull still lives. Behind the wine on the wall appears a postcard of Sean Connery. The vogue at the time and also a joke or 'un blague' for his fine art peers was doing Connery impressions. Psychodynamically Connery could be seen as the representation of a father figure. This was Furr's first time living independently. The figure of Connery also appears in one of Furrs etchings of this time which is a humorous take of Manets bar at the folie begere in which Connery appears chatting to Sid James in front of the legendary Parisian bar and uttering a joke. This premise was post modern. Connery appears again putting on his jacket on a small freestanding cut out that appeared in one of Furr's stop motion animations created while at college. A film entitled 'Rosemary' which was intended as a video for the song by Scott Walker. Also included in the foreground is a bar of white soap and a toy black and white cow farm animal, presumably chosen for their aesthetic qualities. An oval portrait of Balzac appears in the top right reflecting his reading matter at the time 'Old Goriot'.
