Roth’s use of glitter, a vibrant manufactured material, contrasts here with the natural botanical subject matter. The plant bends and curls throughout the piece and travels through fields of unexpected color. The artist captures organic forms through synthetic material, a juxtaposition that ultimately enhances its natural context.
