About this artwork
This is about the obstruction of sea life by floating debris as it journeys through the water. She made this sheet of paper using cotton pulp, which she painted with pigmented pulp while the paper was forming. The red lines are of pigment that was drawn onto the wet paper, which, when dry, became part of the fiber. The collaged elements are woodblock and linoleum block prints that she printed, cut out, and adhered to the surface. Some of the elements…
are printed directly onto the paper. She collaged circles of other smaller sheets, and then used acrylic washes to complete the image.

« My artwork is fuelled by my concerns about environmentally destructive practices, I use the materiality of paper and print to present images of beauty while offering reflections on destruction. »
American artist Marilyn Propp's artwork is inspired by the meditative spiritual connection found in nature, and an unfailing concern for living things and their environments. Each piece represents interdependence, continuity, and interconnectedness amidst fragmentation. Her artworks are enthused with energy and make powerful statements about the fragility of the environment and the role of the individual in contemporary society.
Working with a variety of materials her artworks are a collage of vivid colors and intricate details, puzzles which fit together to form an emotive and inspirational whole. A potent window into the undersea world.
