Marcella Marsella: Aqueous Bodies
On view through November 13, 2022
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA)
Boulder, Colorado
www.bmoca.org
This exhibition explores trauma, healing, and close inspection through Marcella Marsella’s textile and collage-based practice. The artist uses color as a vehicle to unite both aspects of her practice. “Aqueous Bodies” is about life, living, and making sense of the physical world through symbols and the use of color. The word “aqueous” can mean flowing, as life can be. Marsella’s body of work is meant to be physical. As we move through the exhibition, we might physically feel a comfortable, childlike curiosity to explore the world around us. The artist’s hope is that the contrast of the lighter colors with the darker colors will make the journey through this space relaxing and easy, yet exciting.
