Album: As Memory Fades... Recent Works by Rose Adams
April 18 to May 17, 2008. Opening reception: Friday, April 18 at 7pm. Since antiquity, the flower has been used as a symbol for beauty, loss, and the fleetingness of life. In this body of work, Adams has updated this usage by drawing on modern drafting film or Mylar. This translucent surface has then been backed with Stonehenge artist’s paper, on which mixed media washes and text have been placed. The resultant faintness of these background elements serves to further symbolize the gradual fading of memory.
