Christopher Marley: Exquisite Creatures
Christopher Marley arranges preserved insects and other natural specimens into intricate sculptural compositions—think taxidermy meets abstract art. The Seattle Art Museum is showing his work on Friday, August 7, so if you've ever been mesmerized by the geometry of a beetle or the architecture of a moth wing, this is worth your time.

Lineup

  • Christopher Marley

    Christopher Marley is an artist, designer, photographer and author who uses preserved natural specimens as his medium. He grew up in Oregon, then spent over a decade working in dozens of countries in fashion advertising. Through his travels across five continents, Marley found that there were still enigmatic organisms and minerals to be discovered in every biome he explored.
