There’s Still Life is an International exhibition taking place at Art London in October and Scope Miami in December that will feature Discosalt artist Pam Glew. A select group of contemporary artists from the US and Europe have been given a simple brief – to take the traditional discipline of Still Life and produce contemporary paintings, drawings and sculpture.

PamΒ  used the ‘hybrid tea rose’ flower as a starting point and has created 2 handmade ‘hybrid’ flags, part american flag, part Union Jack. The cross -fertilisation of the flags echo this idea of a flower being a hybrid.

British Rose is a handmade Union Jack, made from a vintage American flag and vintage denim with a blooming rose, Hybrid Rose is part British Ensign, part American flag, made from a very old Ensign Flag, denim, red stripes from a vintage American flag and embroidered linens for a nod to English Tea. Using my dyeing and bleaching technique, the Hybrid Rose is particularly distressed with drips of bleach giving off a naughty decadence.

You can preview the works in a show on Saturday 19th September in the Bath Gallery.
