About the Item

'G.R.A.S' no. 4' a series of 4 panels framed together into a single painting. The artist created the work using latex and acrylic on an original Collagraph print mounted to wood. Professionally framed in a minimal museum quality oak frame. G.R.A.S An acronym for "Generally Recognized as Safe", a US Food and Drug Administration designation for artificial additives, G.R.A.S tells the story of one of the world's most coveted spices: vanilla. Native to Mexico, where vanilla orchids are naturally pollinated by endemic bees, the spice is now cultivated largely in Madagascar, where the plant must be pollinated by human hand. Due to vanilla's high cost of production, other flavorants are often used to mimic its taste. Castoreum, a chemical that comes from the castor glands of beavers, was a popular vanilla substitute until it's own collection process became unsustainable. Today, most "vanilla" is really a concoction of lab-produced chemicals--generally recognized as safe--and castoreum is used in limited quantities, found in luxury products like Eau de Musc. Jane Kim was a recent Artist in Residence with her non(NATIVE) series of paintings at the de Young Museum of Art in San Francisco, that considered relationships between native and non-native species. In 2015 Kim created the world's largest Ornithology mural — So Simple a Beginning — at Cornell University Lab of Ornithology. The mural is 70 x 40 feet and depicts the evolution and diversity of birds in the Visitor Center, Ithaca, NY. Jane Kim's Migrating Murals span the Eastern Sierra, and her fine art paintings are collected Internationally. From Andra Norris Gallery in California
