"In the cold, dark interior of a Wilmington garage, Brian Marshall, a 32 year-old-science teacher with a flare for design and mechanics, fashions an array of lamps and clocks from found objects. Once an engineering major, Brian has rekindled his love of puzzles and how things fit together with his current passion for creating fun, functional trash art. When it comes to trash talk, Brian is a master at discovering the unexpected. His work is about changing the viewer's perspective and finding new life in old objects. Things we are used to seeing in one context are placed in entirely different contexts and the result is impressive and fanciful.
Among the works, you might see an aluminum coffee pot up-ended and supported by a thin copper tube over a blender base. Two lights shine as eyes, the lid of the pot becomes the mouth , which sits slightly ajar as if this "Night Watchman" is ready to call out lest anyone disturbs your sleep.
Brian's works of whimsy are solid, carefully-crafted pieces of art, many of which have found their way into the area's private art collections. Brian is self-taught and his materials come from salvage yards, flea markets, and even from the side of the road. He often blends the textures and colors of various finds into one cohesive piece. Among the items you might recognize in his work are various metals, stones, driftwood, kitchen appliances, cameras, teapots, and much more. Sometimes things are left as they are and simply enhanced and other times things are adapted and finished with a variety of chemical and/or mechanical means.
Brian has had work displayed at the Delaware Center of Contemporary Arts (DCCA), Belongings, and the Delaware Center for Horticulture's Annual Craft Show. He is currently in the process of expanding his collection of offerings."
