About the Item

In this framed wall sculpture, digital prints and hand-colored lithography on hand-cut tissue weight kozo and gampi paper are cut to mimic botanical shapes and pinned with entomology pins to solid white foam core. Framed in a shadowbox with a light natural wooden frame. This work can be hung vertically or horizontally. Jill Parisi is a masterful printmaker who uses many methods and materials to create flora and fauna of imaginary ecosystems. Like a jazz musician, she is riffing on nature, taking colors, structures, etc. from a variety of species and places, and reconfiguring them in novel ways. Much of her work reacts to viewer proximity and airflow that ever so slightly animates the pieces. An observant the viewer is rewarded with remarkably detailed patterns, or with the discovery of other smaller and more delicate “species” hidden beneath the first layer. Materials such as translucent tissue-weight papers, feathers or glass inform these fantastic and ephemeral botanical species. Parisi’s drawings, prints and sculptures have also been starting points for fabrication in various other durable materials. Jill Parisi’s work has been exhibited widely including in International Print Center New York’s New Printsexhibitions, The Krakow Printmaking Triennials (2012, 2015), the International Print Network’s Graphically Extended exhibition in Oldenburg (2013) the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville 2016, and at Medjeback, in Falun, Sweden. Her work is in various private and public collections such as University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, Iowa City, IA, Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health, New York, NY, New York University Langone Health, New York, NY. She completed public art commissions for New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Arts for Transit program in 2012, and for DC Government Services in 2016. She was the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Artists’ Books in 2005. Parisi earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Painting and a Master of Fine Arts Printmaking at the State University of New York at New Paltz, New Paltz, NY. She lives and works in New York State.

  • Feather Group Four, Silverpoint Drawing, Bird's Feathers, Soft Gray on White
    By Margot Glass
    Located in Kent, CT
    This delicate drawing is made with silverpoint on prepared archival board. The exploration of ephemerality, and the fragility of nature, its textures and movement, is the focus of this work by Margot Glass. The exquisite beauty of a group of simple feathers, often overlooked or considered mundane, is discovered and elevated through close examination and exquisite drawing by the artist. Signed and titled on verso and initialed on recto, lower right corner. Framed in a silver frame, 10 x 8 inches (unframed), 12 x 10 inches (framed). Glass draws with pure silver not only for the delicacy of line the metal point provides, but also for the allure of using a semiprecious metal as a drawing material. Working on an archival board allows the gleam and luster and delicate reflective silver properties of the metallic medium to present as soft and textured against the ground. The surface is primed with traditional silverpoint ground. The silverpoint ground is slightly chalky when dry to provide a subtle toothy surface to grab the silver particles. Glass is interested in the tradition of using nature as idealized ornament in art and design while seeking to carefully observe as accurately as possible in all the irregularity and imperfection. The metallic lines enhance the decorative qualities of the filigree patterns formed by the minute details in each object. Her compositions are tightly cropped to bring the subject as close to the edge of the picture plane as possible. Margot Glass’s work been exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. Glass’s education includes studies in the Brown/RISD Exchange Program, Brown University...

    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    “Salon (13)“ is a collection of 13 small-scale works by artist Heather Nicol. The installation of 13 assemblages is variable. The artist will personally consult with the buyer and can be on site for the installation. The 13 mixed media pieces include delicate lighting elements that shift and change via arduino electronic devices, or utilize picture lights throwing a soft roll of light across the artwork. These works are linked through their wiring, which is enveloped in a white umbilical cord-like fabric casing, creating an organic, unifying code of display. Heather Nicol is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes immersive sound installation, small-scale discrete object making, and independent curating.
