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. This piece is created with handmade walnut ink on paper. 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.
