Ophelia

Ophelia by Margaret Johnstone

Introducing “Ophelia,” a captivating new artwork by Margaret Johnstone, now available at the Green-Gold Gallery. This stunning piece showcases Johnstone’s masterful blend of materials and techniques, featuring three layers of forestry and copper wire-colored rosette doilies. Each layer is meticulously attached to a pure aluminum edge, creating a mesmerizing interplay of textures and colors.

Crafted with floristry wire, pre-used copper wire, and an aluminum rod, “Ophelia” exemplifies Johnstone’s commitment to environmental consciousness and her unique approach to contemporary art. The juxtaposition of traditionally ‘masculine’ materials with ‘feminine’ crafting techniques results in a delicate yet profound artwork that invites viewers to reflect on themes of waste, consumerism, and environmental impact.

“Ophelia” is not just a visual masterpiece; it is a call to action for environmental respect and a reminder of nature’s inherent cycle of life and death. This artwork’s intricate design and thoughtful composition make it a perfect addition to any art collection, sparking intrigue and introspection in all who behold it.
