“Pensive Birch Bot” (2016)
by Lauren Briere (1985-)

I visited the “Austin Art Garage” a few years ago. It is very cool.

I had been keeping my eye open for when Lauren’s originals are posted. She’s got a nice combination of expressiveness with the classic robot motif. What I liked about this one, in particular, is that while the robot contemplates, close up and framed by the birch, the yellow and green life of the flower, we are contemplating, close up and framed by the birch, the yellow with a splash of green life of the robot.

Or did you think that green reflection is an accident?
