DescriptionGraves’ interest in nature spurred her to combine both natural and man-made elements within her artworks. The machine which serves as the base of “Indicate” is an offset lithography press. Many of the additional elements are bits of hardware which is especially relevant here in New Britain, the former hardware capital of the world. This use of industrial products to create sweeping, organic forms demonstrates Graves’ ability to synthesize the dueling forces of industry and nature.On View
