Marissa Shell

Hi, I'm Marissa Shell. Welcome to my profile!

Currently I am working on pieces which are made from small, overlooked items that I scour my surroundings for.  I construct and transform them into large tapestries or fabrics.  Items that I am using are bottle caps, corks, dress hooks, and glass beads. These items suggest my day-to-day whereabouts to the viewer, and are a peek into my life.    Born and raised in Queens, NY.  Currently works in Brooklyn, NY. http://floridacorks.blogspot.com/ http://marissashell.blogspot.com/
