Explorations of colour and texture are an integral part of Marnie’s work. The contrast between soft dusky tones and saturated bold colours are further enhanced by the variation in paint application with thin frosty glazes revealing the textured surface below.
In recent years she has been inspired by her immersion in the Australian landscape; bush paths, rural vistas and undulating valleys, experienced with the full spectrum of light patterns throughout a day. In Marnie’s new body of work featured in ‘Ultra’ the abstract landscapes have been reduced to minimal compositions, directing the focus to colour relationships and tones.
