Marbling is an ancient art from that started in both Turkish and Japanese cultures. I was exposed to this art from and during Covid-19 decided to teach it to myself as a form of creative mental therapy.

 

My goal when i learn any art form has always been to find ways to take this a traditional unchanging method and see if there was a way I could take it in a new direction. As a child I was placed in art classes. And often I would get in trouble for not following the protocol for how I created my pieces. I would look around and see everyone making the same exact picture, sculpture, etc. Not wanting to follow everyone else I would try something new. 

​

And that is what I hope to achieve with marbling.

​

Below is my initial stab at understanding the basics. I hope to add more experimental projects here using this method. Stay tuned and follow my instagram to keep in the loop.
