David W. M. RobertsDesert Rose: Pressed in Time2023
2023
About the Item
Adenium obesum, known as the Desert Rose, is my favourite flower. They are a hardy underdog, surviving with hardly any rain. They give a bright splash of colour in the Kenyan desert, where I grew up. They are classically beautiful yet the flower is poisonous. A mix of contradictions.
My technique is a process of development, using mixed media, incorporating rice and tissue papers, acrylic paints, inks and refined beeswax. These build the painting. Each of the layers are incredibly fragile and as delicate as the petal of a flower. The layers are what allow me to play with colour, translucency and light.

- Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'By Gin StoneLocated in New York, NY'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...Category
