Marjorie Pesek

Marjorie Pesek relishes the unexpected. Each of her works is a voyage of discovery. Common items, cultural icons and visual puns unite to tickle and tease, challenge and please. Monuments, pencils, statues, asparagus, jewelry, animals and countless jigsaw pieces make her work surprising, surreal, humorous, romantic, nostalgic, spontaneous and profound. Is there a message in Pesek’s work? Maybe, but you must look closely for it. Discover it for yourself and decide what it means to you. Like architectural fragments from bygone buildings, the wonderful pieces she assembles remind us of the beauty of the past and challenge us to contemplate a new vision of the future. In an exhilarating act of artistic recycling, she reconstructs cultural castoffs to create new realities and elicit emotional response.
