About the Item

Framed in a clear acrylic shadowbox, Catherine Latson's contemporary wall-mounted fiber sculpture Specimen 25 reads as an artistic rendition of a beautiful sea specimen. Rich, jewel-toned teal blue hand-dyed cotton thread is wrapped around tendrils that stretch from a delicate cluster of tiny curls in pale pink and lilac on top towards deep blue tendrils that curve gently downward. 21 x 16 x 5.5 inches (unframed), 27 x 22 x 6.75 inches (framed in acrylic shadowbox). The Specimen Series is inspired by sea anemones and the motion of a water-bound world, exploring forms that blur the lines between animal and plant, realism and fantasy, sculpture and specimen. Each wall sculpture describes a mysterious, hybridized and imagined organism in arrested motion. Latson’s complex artworks belie her simple materials. The artist hand-dyes embroidery floss in variations of a single dominant color and wraps the thread tightly and skillfully around her armature. The construction of each work entails countless hours of whipping and knotting resulting in dense, rich color and graceful, compelling compositions. Catherine Latson earned a BA in Biology from Macalester College, St Paul, MN. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States, including at The Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, NY and in the Macy’s Flowers Shows in Philadelphia, PA and New York, NY and has been featured in the American Craft Magazine and The New York Times. The artist works in Yonkers, NY.

Biomorphic Blue No 11 - smooth, pigmented Winterstone, abstract sculpture
By Jana Osterman
Located in Bloomfield, ON
The natural world inspires the beautiful organic forms of artist Jana Osterman. This deep blue patinated winterstone sculpture suggests the shape and movement of tree roots. It is polished with a protective wax giving it a light sheen. “Tree roots hold traces and impressions of where they held on but still suggest the smooth, and continuous movement, the flow of water." Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County...
