^Lot 984 Original Gouache ''Blocks of Time'' - R. Marks

Original Gouache ''Blocks of Time'' - Roberta Marks (Key West, FL). "There are artists committed to a spiritual path who accept the challenge of compromising neither their art nor their spiritual discipline in the objects they create; and it is to this last category that Roberta Marks belongs. Her collages, paintings, and assemblages are traces, reminders, vestiges of her assiduous journeying and struggle – of her ultimate acceptance, too, of a universe that stretches from the stars to boxes of old clothes. We have to look long, and longingly, at these images of what is already past and that make that past present: (re)creations that exclude both resignation and any illusion of redemption; simple, subtle explorations of our very own world, so sad and so sublime." Harry Mathews Very large piece nicely done. Framed in a wood frame. Visual measures approx. 29.5''H x 41.5''W.
