New York New Work - Marina Strocchi

New York New Work is the outcome of Marina Strocchi’s time in the United States. Her trip featured an extended stay in Brooklyn where she undertook a studio practice for three months funded through the Arts NT Fellowship program. 

Strocchi is renowned for working from surrounding natural environments, her home and still life. In Brooklyn and Manhattan she was faced with the built environment on an incredible scale. The sheer mass and density of life and hope, the walls of repetitive windows (sometimes reflecting and sometimes receding), towering over the humans who made them, is reflected in these new images, as is a joy in the intensity of New York and the positivity from the people that Strocchi found inspiring.
