Marnie Weber lives and works in Los Angeles. For over four decades the artist has worked with music, performance, collage, film, painting, and sculpture to create uncanny worlds that evoke the genres of fairytales, folklore, and mythology, but which come wholly from Weber's own vivid imagination. Populated by witches, monsters, clowns, animals, and strong female characters, the artist's surreal fictions recount journeys of transformation and self-discovery, exploring the complexity of the subconscious. Weber's work is characterized by its deliberate home-made aesthetic, its careful suspension between darkness and subtle humor, and her long-standing interest in the reclamation of female power.
The Angel Waits is a collage comprised of photographic scans of stained glass and is meant to create an other-worldly presence for the angel figure. The angel is adorned with a gold leaf halo, underscoring the sacred and peaceful qualities of the figure.
