About the Item

This delicate contemporary botanical drawing is made with handmade walnut ink on heavyweight Arches paper. The exploration of ephemerality, and the fragility of a wild sow thistle plant, its leaves, flowers and buds are the focus of this drawing by Margot Glass. The exquisite beauty of the plant is discovered and elevated through close examination and exquisite drawing by the artist. Initialed on recto, signed, dated and initialed on verso. Framed in a light wood frame with all archival materials. 16 x 12 inches (unframed), 18 x 14 inches (framed). This series is the result of the artist's wildflower research conducted while hiking along the Pacific coast. Glass is interested in the tradition of using nature as idealized ornament in art and design while seeking to observe and represent these plants as accurately as possible in all their irregularity and imperfection. The metallic lines enhance the decorative qualities of the filigree patterns formed by the seed heads and leaf veining. Her compositions are tightly cropped to bring the subject as close to the edge of the picture plane as possible. Margot Glass’s work been exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. Glass’s education includes studies in the Brown/RISD Exchange Program, Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI, she earned a BA with Honors from Brown University. Brown then studied (textile design/pattern) at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, NY. The artist lives and works in Massachusetts.
