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), 20.75 x 17 inches (framed).
This series is the result of the artist's wildflower research conducted while hiking along the Pacific coast.
Glass focuses primarily on drawing, using various traditional methods and materials as a foundation for her work, including traditional silverpoint and 14k goldpoint, homemade organic inks and oil and acrylic painting with mixed mica using fine point crow quill pens in place of brushes.
Glass is inspired by the tradition of idealizing nature in art and design as ornament across cultures while seeking to observe and represent her subjects as accurately as possible in all their irregularity and imperfection.
Central to her work is the exploration of ephemeral, fragile subjects, focusing primarily on weeds, ‘waste plants’ and other plants generally considered to be undesirable, to recognize their beauty in all of their imperfection and asymmetry. Her focus on these marginal plants is guided by the question of what we value, what we consider ‘belonging’ to mean, to highlight the beauty of what is present in the disrupted landscape that we find ourselves in today.
Margot Glass grew up in New York City, and studied art at The Art Students' League, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Fashion Institute of Technology. Glass’s work has been widely exhibited in the United States and internationally. She is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council STARS Artist Residency; Lost and Found Lab Artist-in-Residence and an Oak Spring Garden Foundation Interdisciplinary Fellowship.
