MarshaMod's photostream

I'm trying to keep my head above water and find the time to flex my art degree. My heart is still with photography and film and painting. I have always been fascinated with abstract imagery. When I was a little girl in elementary school I was obsessed with modern art and architecture. I spent hours designing plans for modern houses and signed my plans with my Architect moniker Marsha Mod. I got my first camera at age 9 and began doing serious photography at 13.

I am a child of modernism. I embrace the clean lines, the simplicity and the minimalism. I bask in abstraction and clarity of form. I salute Neutra and Schindler, Eames, Malevich, Rodchenko, Delaunay, Rothko, Stella and Punk Rock, Punk Rock, Punk Rock.

My photography is about my lifelong obsession with abstract painting. It is about line, color, texture, form and composition. I began to paint my own paintings in order to photograph them and the paintings sometimes end up having a life of their own. There is so much available material in my immediate life. Texture has been a huge interest for me as graphical elements – where lines intersect – and color of course becomes a major player. I have resisted extensive photoshop manipulation and what you see is what I see in the viewfinder.
