About the Item

This contemporary botanical drawing is made with gold acrylic on cradled panel, painted black. The exploration of ephemerality, and the fragility of a wild anemone flower, its delicate leaves, petals and buds are the focus of this painting by Margot Glass. The beauty of the flower, a member of the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is discovered and elevated through close examination and exquisite drawing by the artist. Initialed, signed, dated and titled on verso. This series is the result of the artist's wildflower research conducted while hiking along the Pacific coast. Working on a dark ground allows the gleam and luster and delicate reflective silver and gold properties of the metallic medium to present as high tones against the black ground. Margot Glass focuses primarily on drawing, using various traditional methods and materials as a foundation for her work, including traditional silverpoint and 14k goldpoint, homemade organic inks and oil and acrylic painting with mixed mica using fine point crow quill pens in place of brushes. Glass is inspired by the tradition of idealizing nature in art and design as ornament across cultures while seeking to observe and represent her subjects as accurately as possible in all their irregularity and imperfection. Central to her work is the exploration of ephemeral, fragile subjects, focusing primarily on weeds, “waste plants” and other plants generally considered to be undesirable, to recognize their beauty in all of their imperfection and asymmetry. Her focus on these marginal plants is guided by the question of what we value, what we consider ‘belonging’ to mean, to highlight the beauty of what is present in the disrupted landscape that we find ourselves in today. Margot Glass grew up in New York City, and studied at The Art Students' League, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Fashion Institute of Technology. Her educational and professional immersion decorative arts history and applied textile and decorative design techniques inspired her exploration of the dynamic relationship between stylization and imperfection in representations of nature in the subjects she chooses. Her paintings and drawings primarily focused on themes of ecology and fragile plant systems have been widely exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States and internationally, and her work is in private and public collections including such institutions as the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Mellon, the Weatherspoon Museum, The Del Coronado Corporate Collection, Midwest Museum of American Art, Oak Spring Garden Foundation, The Mark Parker Collection, and Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection. Her work has been featured in publications including Orion Magazine, Watercolor Artist, American Art Collector. She was the recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council STARS Artist Residency and is currently working on a site-specific commission for the Arts in Embassies program for a new US embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. She is the recipient of an Oak Spring Garden Foundation Interdisciplinary Fellowship, Upperville, VA and at Lost & Found Lab Artist Residency, Cos Cob, CT. Margot Glass lives and works in Western Massachusetts and has been a visiting lecturer at Smith College in addition to other colleges and museums.

The formality, ornamental qualities and boldness of botanical art strongly influence Bardon's art. It is easy to see her inspiration in the patterns, line and simplicity of form found in Asian art.
