interrelated but distinct. In a process he describes as “remixing,” he collages photographs directly onto
the gallery wall then cuts out a sections of collaged wall, and either frames the removal or
reinserts it elsewhere in the gallery. In another movement,
he cuts through his framed photo collages and into the wall creating a continuous
hole/wound/void that opens into the dark space behind the walls. This in and out, this merging of exteriority and
interiority through rupture generates dynamic irregularities and emphasizes
the corporeal vulnerability of his materials and the images
(often flowers) he represents. He writes, "As an unbroken
image, it is incomplete––a disturbance, a distortion, a fissure of some kind is crucial
to open up the image into an activated space." Marnie's cutting, removing, remixing, and reinventing synergizes into a "volumetric hum" that resists categorization and the quiescence of resolution."
