Justin Marshall – Artist
My work focusses on animal colours and vision. My science head asks "What do other animals (coral reef creatures mostly) see?" I have spent decades looking and looking at nature's beauty and asking what the colour was for? My art head seeks to show the wonder of nature's colour, texture shape-and-form. It is micro, or perhaps macro-scopic and often abstract, asking the viewer to work out where it is from? All that you see if for sale but other than covering printing costs, 100% goes back to nature education and re-wilding in all its contexts.
