But what I really love is her more recent work using fish scales
It is such an unusual and beautiful material – so delicate and translucent, and I love the way the shadows become part of the work. Marian says “For me transparency is a pre-requisite. By leaving some space between the structure and the wall the object is freed from its background and interacts with the white wall. It becomes what I call a ‘spatial drawing’.”
Do take the time to go and look through her flickr photostream – it is wonderful!
