WORK
Marcie’s paintings delve into the raw, visceral reactions we have to our most defining memories. He explores how significant moments in our lives leave lasting emotional imprints, shaping who we are. The paintings carry an emotional and intuitive urgency that, in their final form, achieve balance and resolution.
His work explores the delicate equilibrium between strength and fragility.
Through sculptures crafted from raw materials such as natural stone, cast bronze, and concrete he creates a dialogue between stability and vulnerability. These materials, often regarded as solid, permanent, and unyielding, are transformed into forms that hover in suspended harmony, poised as if on the edge of collapse yet resolute and resolved.
Both artistic disciplines intersect at a space that explores the depth of human experience that describes our existential landscape and how we project ourselves upon it.
“KICKS/DEVOTION/SCARS,
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
REVEAL IN US, THE HOARDERS
OF EXQUISITE MOMENTS”
Poem//Marcie.
“I believe my art to be messages that are not confined by the constraints of language or form. Whether it’s through the integrative interdisciplinary techniques of my paintings, the tactile reality of my sculptures, or the rhythm and rhyme of my spoken word performances, each piece is an attempt to map our existential landscape and to describe how we project ourselves upon it.
At the heart of my artistic inquiry lies the enigmatic concept of the "fertile void" - a space where contradictions coexist, where the duality of light and dark, the known and the unknown, finds harmony. It is in this liminal space that my work seeks to dwell, to probe, and to reveal. The egg, a motif recurrent in this body of work, serves as a potent symbol for this exploration. It represents the delicate balance between the conscious and unconscious mind, a vessel where possibilities are incubated.”
Carbon is continually cycling through all living things.
The charcoal remembers the tree and we remember the fire. In CARBON, Marcie imbues his works with not only the metaphorical essence of our physical selves but the evocation of our shared experiences and sameness. We have carried fire and languages to describe it since the dawn of our time.
It connects all things and is beyond prejudice and opinion.
Marcie’s works are manifest moments collected.
