Explore the Description of this artwork, The Arrival (installation).
The Arrival is a 2013 installation by Casey Roberts, which consists of a patterned glass wall and door and two paintings. The wall, which measured 78.25" x 262", framed, consists of two panels of glass that have been fused together, and then decorated with both semi-translucent and opaque decoration, including trees and new and budding plants, creating a frosted effect. The paintings, both which measure 69.5" square, framed, were created by painting paper with cyanotype chemicals before completing the work with additional painting and flower collage. Of the work's imagery, the artist comments:
“I worked to create a calm, peaceful environment and yet keep it interesting. I used closely related imagery for both the paintings and the glass wall to build a cohesive setting. The elements of budding flowers, young plants and the arrival of birds signal the onset of spring and birth/rebirth.” -Casey Roberts
