The FINAL #Pulse15 highlighted artist is Arlington-based artist, Pam Rogers, whose work focuses on nature and botany in order to “explore how individuals nurture and develop relationships, societies and ideas and then create carefully crafted identities based in these themes.” She collects plant materials from all over the US as she travels to create her own pigments, paints, and dyes.
Allison’s pick is “After Durer” – “I own a piece of Pam’s that is very similar to this one, I believe made around the same time. Pam uses pigments and papers she often makes her self from plants she has grown or collected. This piece is so peaceful, and has a lovely sense of movement with the way the graphite is lightly applied across the panel. The faint application of the pigments and gestural lines reminds me of how everything is transient and fleeting, but can still be beautiful.” $400
