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]
