Marilynne Morshead Photography

Statement

Artist Statement

With deep roots in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, my love for photography stems from my ongoing interest in art and science.

Gravitating between reality and abstraction, and I am drawn equally to the organic curves of human form, and to the geometry manufactured design.

My childhood was infused with mythology. Bedtime stories were fanciful tales
told by my Greek mother and grandmother and frequently featured a muse or
two – spirits who embody the arts and guide our creative pursuits. Both women were talented painters. I paint with my camera.

In Discovery, I celebrate the opulent simplicity of light, shadow and pattern.
It’s a journey into a serene and intimate world, offering a visual meditation.
Printed in warm-toned black and white, the work reflects my passion for form
and intense curiosity about the every day objects that light our way.
