Katabasis

'Ochres, plums, and cerulean blues bleed into one another, conjuring moments of high definition and more murky swathes of muddling colour. Like a fruit ripening, or a flower blossoming, each ‘lino painting’ comes into being, complete with its own intricacies. Marshall peppers each work with a plethora of visual registers. Ancient symbols sit alongside highly detailed linework. The fish in Katabasis replicate etchings of fish found within ancient Israeli cave paintings for example, their stark markings intermingling with the languid tendrils of Persephone’s hair.'
