"Lanterns” by David B Marshall

Mixed media on paper, 12x16"

From the artist: "My formal art education has been haphazard—I've studied book arts, fabric design, mixed media, and collage—and I have an MFA in writing, not visual art. I'm the son of a watercolor artist and, from him, I learned some basics, but I grew up endlessly doodling. I have an abiding fascination with patterns—cracks in the sidewalk, accidental paint spills, the bubbling overlap of layers of graffiti—and most of my art is inspired by the seen and unseen tension between order and disorder, real and imagined. I like to begin with a few simple “rules” and develop the final piece by working inside—and then outside—patterns I've created. In the end I hope for harmony between happenstance and design, density and airiness, chance and calculation. More than anything else, I hope to replicate the deeper design in the patterns I encounter."
