Contour Series - Wave Hill 2014

Creator: Tessa Grundon
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Tessa Grundon's work often references to the topography and history of a place and its ever-changing environment. To create her pieces, Grundon uses an array of materials and artifacts relating to specific geographical locations - local maps, wax from nearby beehives, pigments from the muds, earths, plants and charcoal, debris found along the strandlines of shores and riverbanks both rural and urban.
With these materials she creates works that embodies a sense of place, totems of landscapes she knows and loves.
This particular piece was created during Grundon's Art Residency at Wave Hill, a 28 acres estate on the Hudson River in Riverdale, New York. Earths and beeswax from Wave Hill is what creates the underlying texture, on top of which Grundon etched her own personal interpretation of topographic maps from the surrounding area.

Several collectors have displayed the "Contours" in groups of 2, 3, or 9 pieces. You can see the visual impact on the second image. A discount will be considered in the purchase of several pieces. Please contact the gallery for more information.

The artwork is sold framed. The unframed size is ca. 8" x 8".
