Mary Ott “Silver Grass IV”
The exhibit at Brookside Gardens will include monotypes with images of ornamental grasses. They are part of two series, “Bouquet of Grasses” and “Silver Grass” series. "Ott’s
prints suggest traditional Asian art, and some of them are printed on Japanese
kochi or Thai unryu paper, adding vegetable textures to the images of
vegetation. The pieces are beautifully made and unapologetically decorative.
This work may perform merely the gentlest of twists on its natural
inspirations, but it does so with skill and grace.”
Mary Ott “Bouquet of Grasses LXVI”
The exhibit will be in the ”Education Hallway” at the Brookside Gardens Visitors Center. The location is 1800 Glenallan Avenue, Wheaton, MD 20902 (301 962 1400). The Visitors Centre is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
