Artwork Description

Karla Trinkley took colors and shapes she found on cinder-block fences in the tropics and applied them to Rosette. The thick walls on this enormous vessel appear carved from stone, but Trinkley’s delicate color and pattern give it a lightness and fragility despite its obvious weight.
