The Crucible Beyond the Western Desert
24.0 x 17.5 x 3.0, 10.0 lbs
Mixed Media
Hand signed by artist
Artist's Commentary:
"10,000 years ago the area that is known now as the Sahara was a verdant landscape crossed with streams, wetlands, ponds, and lakes. It was a vibrant ecosystem bustling with animal life of all kinds and the Neolithic people of that area hunted and gathered very well. Millennia later an orbital shift would cause the climate change to the area that the Ancient Egyptians called the Western Desert, the western bank of the Nile being a land of chaos, sandstorms, heat, domain of wandering Set, inhabited by the dead. A crucible is a container used for chemistry to alter materials, generally under heat and pressure. In the drying period, when rain became more scarce, people followed their animal game and water sources, some settling in cooperative groups at the edges of the Nile, Indus, Euphrates, or Yellow Rivers. TL,DR: Catastrophic circumstance creates change and in time previously unexpected opportunity."
About the Artist:
Ian Hermès Babylon (he/they) is an artist whose home is on the lands of the Neponset band of the Indigenous Massachusetts peoples. He creates historic, mythic, archetypically Jungian surrealist collage from any and every thing. Source materials from the late 20th century aim to address the ills of Late/Terminal Stage Capitalism; cut and dismantled, individuated, these pieces are reorganized into pragmatic and open-ended new wholes, places of reflection. His collage are intentioned-meditations for more just and loving ways of being.

By Mark Lembo
Located in Boston, MA
About the piece:
Floreo, "Flower" in Spanish, has special meaning in flamenco dance.
Words that describe this piece:outsider, intuitive, blue, monochrome, dynamic, action, flamenco, movement
Artist Biography:
Mark A. Lembo Script M Abstract Art Mark’s dynamic work blurs the distinction between alcohol ink and watercolor - working with dyes, inks, liquid acrylic, liquid watercolor, and other aqueous media; lately, he has been incorporating metallic watercolor and pearlescent ink to his work. He has used canvas, synthetic Yupo™ paper, Yasutomo Mineral Paper, and various watercolor papers. Mark’s journey into the world of creative arts started with the question, “What would Jackson Pollock’s work look like if he had used transparent watercolors?” So, it was out with the pencils, pens, and brushes, and on to the pouring of various aqueous solutions. While mostly self-taught, Mark took a series of classes at the Creative Arts Group, Sierra Madre, CA, under Joe Stoddard, as well as seminars with Robert...
