Marina Shaltout is American Artist who has been staying with us for the months of December and January 2017. Marina’s work has a humorous undertone and is marked by playfulness. It is based on sculptural costumes, performances and photography. During her stay Marina has been working with various found materials and fabric, creating sculptural costumes as well as performance base photography with Sacha Ratcliffe, but the duo meet during their residency stay here and started to collaborate.
