PAINTING: LAYERS OF EXPRESSION
An exploration of paint and surface allows for a wide range of expression. A clay pot can be a 3D painting. Paint on a particular ground can suggest a mosaic.
SCULPTURE: THEMES OF SHARED HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Marina's sculpture is concerned with themes of common human experience. Her experimental approach emphasizes recycling materials—using found objects and repurposing items.
REVIEW
The ceramics of Marina Mason make do with their own energies in a kind of ramshackle aesthetic that ends up somewhat majestic.“
