Renee Brown
Onyx Lichenite, Platinum Nugget

2015

About the Item

Brown’s Onyx Lichenite, Platinum Nugget is a glamourous wall-sculpture piece. Often called the ‘Tuxedo Flower’, this piece combines mystery and opulence with earthy, mineral shimmer. This naturalistic sculpture is rich in texture and fine details. About the artist; Born in 1973, Renee Brown’s work is crafted from a personal vernacular of beauty. Historically, ‘Mineralia’ is defined as the taxonomic category for all non-life; that which is not life is a mineral. Brown’s portraits challenge this definition. The work introduces viewers to a new perception of earth’s treasures and allows for an investigation of a mineral’s essence through the lens of contemporary art. Forms perceived in nature to be inert emerge with persona; bypassing what is rationally found in nature. This blurred line between reality and created reality is intriguing to her. Brown holds an MFA in Ceramics and a BFA in Interior Design. She maintains an independent studio in the Historic Brunswick Building downtown Missoula, Montana.

  • Collection of 8 Stones
    By Sam McPherson
    Located in Kansas City, MO
    Artist : Sam McPherson Title : Collection of 8 stones, wall installation Materials : Ceramic, porcelain on nail Date : 2019 Dimensions : 18"x 36"x 5" in. Description : Wall stones are designed to hang in multiple positions and can easily be rearranged or altered. The back of each stone as designs cut into it like the picture shown. The design on the back double as nail holes, so you can alter the position of the stone by selecting which space to hang on the nail. *** Designs will not always match the one shown, but are similar in concept. This arrangement includes 5 black porcelain stones, and 3 marbled stones. To discover the unseen hidden beneath or within an object inspires Sam McPherson to share her imagination and fascination of ‘what could be’. McPherson tries to use these ideas in her work to create something that requires the viewer to invest in the piece to see what it has to offer, to reward curiosity, and to those unwilling to stop and look closely to explore and discover, they may never know.
