Product Overview
This book presents the compositions of Christopher Marley: assemblages of real insect bodies that display brilliant color and otherworldly form. The colors are entirely natural, and to render the reproductions as accurate as possible some have been reproduced with fifth-color metallic inks and highlighted with spot varnish. Accompanying the broad sample of Marley's work is a series of essays by the artist: Design of Insects, Insects in Design, History, Color, The Coleoptera Mosaics: An Exercise in Color, Repetition, Structure, Texture, Variations, Botanicals, Size, and Environmental Effects.
Christopher Marley was born in Covina, California, and grew up near Salem, Oregon.
