About this artwork
This is a thin translucent sheet of abaca paper, which she pigmented to create the clear underwater appearance. The relief prints, some of which she printed onto handmade pigmented paper, are collaged onto the surface. The result is a vision of swirling floating machine parts, many of which have morphed into forms of marine life. Both sea turtle and objects appear buoyant as they coexist in this glimpse of sea life.

« 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.
