About the Item
Margot Glass’s rendering of detail demands close attention. Her play with positive and negative space—the almost imperceptible shade of translucence between leaf veins, or the rich puff of a seed head—draws her viewer into a close embrace. Space and matter interlock not only within her diaphanous specimen, but amongst them as well, plaiting together into a single organism. Though her drawings exist outside the realm of illustration, Margot’s consideration of light and light effects gestures towards her subjects’ wild origins. In the way the sun’s shifting position alters the appearance and silhouette of a flower, so does the glimmer of Margot’s gold and acrylic lines as the viewer changes their vantage point.
The artist’s training as a gilder is the foundation of this body of work. Her process requires an almost physiological slowing down: the hand, the lungs, and the mind must all reach a meditative state to complete this delicate work. This coupling of duration and ephemerality fills Glass’s drawings with a sense of timelessness; they are at once present here, as well as in a deep and distant past. Additionally, dandelions, geraniums, and chicory all appear in various states of bud and bloom, indicating the life cycle of the plants. There is a narrative of birth-life-death-rebirth implicit in her work. Though these plants are indeed vulnerable, the artist ensures that their death is not understood as their ending.

- Trompe L'oeil [untitled]. Homage... Ter Nagedachtenis van S. G. Wezel oud 76 JarLocated in New York, NYTrompe l'oeil [untitled]. Homage.... Ink drawing, multimedia, 1837. Paper size 13.13 x 16.44" (33.3 x 41.8 cm). On watermarked paper "Blauw and Briel." Overall good condition. Small tears and the occasional bit of paper missing at the paper edge. Original color. Center paper crease - as issued. We believe the artist created this artwork on a sheet of paper that had been previously bound in a book. Dutch trompe l'oeil drawing with pen & ink, pencil, sepia, and black chalk, wax seal, and painted pigment. This montage of early 19th century ephemera depicts sheet music, scenic views, a sealed letter, cards, a portrait of an unknown sitter, and a penned sheet noting ... van S. G. Wezel Wassenaar, October 1837. Is this a homage to the individual portrayed, a metaphorical self-portrait, or just a random assortment of ephemera beautifully composed? The artist keeps us wondering and visually appeased by a striking harmony created through contrast. This piece starts with sheet music entitled; Romance Larghetto No 2. There is a Psalm and Op Jezus Geboorte (On Jesus Birth...Category
