About the Item

Margot Glass focuses primarily on drawing, using traditional techniques and materials as the foundation for her work -- including silverpoint and 14k goldpoint, homemade organic inks, and oil and acrylic paint enhanced with mica -- all applied with fine-point crow quill pens instead of brushes. She is inspired by the tradition of idealizing nature as ornament in art and design across cultures, while also seeking to observe and depict her subjects with accuracy—embracing their irregularity and imperfection. Central to her work is the exploration of ephemeral, fragile subjects—focusing primarily on weeds, ‘waste plants,’ and other species often deemed undesirable—to recognize their beauty in all their imperfection and asymmetry. Her attention to these marginal plants is driven by questions of value and belonging, inviting reflection on what we choose to preserve or discard, and revealing the beauty that persists within today’s disrupted landscape. Margot Glass grew up in New York City, and studied art at The Art Students' League, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Fashion Institute of Technology. Glass’s work has been widely exhibited in the United States and internationally. She is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council STARS Artist Residency; Lost and Found Lab Artist-in-Residence and an Oak Spring Garden Foundation Interdisciplinary Fellowship. Her work is in private and public collections including the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Mellon, PA, Weatherspoon Art Museum, NC, Oak Spring Garden Foundation, VA, Fidelity Investments Corporate Art Collection, MA, Hotel Del Coronado Collection, CA, Allentown Art Museum, PA, Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart, IN, the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, among others. She currently lives and works in Western Massachusetts.
