Thomas Marino

My work focuses on color and light to achieve an atmospheric or celestial appearance. My Primary intent with this "style" is to explore the process of transformation and the awakening of our Spirit. Symbols that I use such as the circle, triangle and spiral are for their universal and unifying meaning, which beckons us to a higher reality. In the process of transforming the clay, we too are also transformed.
