The E Word

Recent works by Marilyn Fenn

October 10th-November 1st 

 

Sunday Novermber 1st at 2:00PM:

Come join Marilyn at Bay6 to hear her talk about her work, her process, how she got to this point, and where her explorations will take her in the future.

“The E Word,” explores life at different scales: from the elements of evolution to the essentials of our environment, and on to the endless reaches of space. Through the interplay and juxtaposition of the micro with the macro, I try to depict on canvas what nature could do in the world, but hasn’t gotten around to yet.  This wealth of possibilites lies in the inescapable fractal nature of the physical world: tiny crystals under a microscope resemble mountain ranges; neurons mirror nebulae; zoosphores echo supernovae.

I like to combine my lifelong passion for painting with my interest in science. I crave to know how things are made and how they appear, and then to explore how I can say something about the familiar world in a new way.
