About the artwork.
With a signature playful approach, ROY (previously Rosemary Gialamas) creates objects that reflect her interest in the history of art and various cultures. ROY’s willingness to experiment with materials and her ability to infuse objects with a sense of lightheartedness is evident in Nectar Walkers (Liqueur Cups.) These silver and brass vessels appear to be in motion with spindly legs that look as if they curl and unfold to propel the containers along.
