Ava Roth is a contemporary Canadian artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Her work ranges from encaustic painting to embroidery to weaving, often combining multiple artistic media into a single piece of art. Her "Honeycomb Collection" series combines framed embroidery and other natural and man-made objects, with natural honeycomb. To create this ongoing series, Roth places objects and art-pieces into beehives located throughout southern Ontario. In the hives, the bees construct honeycomb around them. [1] [2] The artworks produced are thus the result of interspecies collaboration. According to Roth, her work is "fundamentally about exploring the relationship between humans and the natural environment." [3]
Roth's work has been exhibited in many galleries across Ontario, including the Art Gallery of Mississauga, [4] the Orillia Museum of Art and History, [5] the Propeller Gallery in Toronto, [6] and the Wall Space Gallery in Ottawa. [7] Her work has also been exhibited in the United States at the California Nature Art Museum in Solvang, California, [8] [9] the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, [10] and Site:Brooklyn Gallery in Brooklyn, New York City. [11] Her work was also featured at the "Net Zero" exhibit at the museum at the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in 2023. [12]
