Modern Fossil - David Horowitz and Judith Marchand
Found Objects
(First in the "Licking Our Wounds" Series)
“Mankind’s interaction with its natural environment is the basis and subject of this work. Just as natural fossils are the imprints of prehistoric life on earth, Judith and David have created “Modern Fossils”: pieces that ponder the substances we are currently leaving behind in our environment, to be unearthed far in the future. They were inspired by the embellished metal manhole and storm drain covers found on the streets of local cities & towns. With these in mind, they create original plaster castings, which represent their community’s impact on the waterways which sustain us and give us life. The message on these castings, “Dump No Waste, Drains To Waterways,” proclaims the clear truth that our waterways’ health is key to our local community’s existence and future. During cleanups of local waterway environments, the artists collect both natural materials and man-made detritus, which they then use to design the images in their castings and visually illustrate this message. The resulting wall hangings embody the modern dilemma of mankind’s struggle to maintain a balanced relationship with nature, and also proclaim the vital environmental message stressing the necessity of keeping our waterways clean and healthy. Modern Fossils have their roots in Judith’s love for the environment and her local river town community, combined with David’s 20+ years of experience in creating and casting environmental sculptures in NYC (“Urban Fossils”) and in cities around the world.”

"As a narrative mixed media contemporary artist, I bring organic forms and textures into my work, using iconic symbolism to exemplify concepts close to my heart that are influenced by personal, societal and environmental changes. I take a fearless approach to the colors I use in compositions that I build around found objects. By bringing an almost three-dimensional aspect to my work, I am suggesting that art has no boundaries and that in the limitlessness of nature colors and forms flow from one space to another."

"Based on a photo of the divide fom Tabernash, in Grand County, CO. There were 4 Covid cases in Grand County yesterday. I left there 3/18, back in Jersey, where there are over 30,000 cases now. Stay safe, mountain refuge. Here in my studio, I go there in my imagination."

"I'm getting a lot of drawing done these days. This is the second piece I created in the last few weeks. When I was setting this still life up I saw a black and white image in my mind’s eye instead of color. I wanted to focus on the beauty of the patterns and felt b&w would do it."
