Blackadder's paintings are based on a very large collection of all kinds of objects - toys, boxes, ribbons, fans, pieces of paper, scraps of cloth, flowers, and stones - a selection of which she arranges on a table, in the traditional manner. These still life paintings are deliberately ornamental. All sense of perspective is intentionally lost by tipping the table up at an angle and eliminating any background.
