THE MARKS WE LEAVE BEHIND
The Marks We Leave behind is a visual contemplation of the effect and impact that we as human beings have on the people we love and the impact we have on the world we live in. It is the living proof of how we process our marks and make art of it.
In our yearning to know and be known, we often resort to symbolic, artistic manifestations to bridge our conscious and subconscious states of being and our inability to articulate it.
Art is braille for the soul, to comprehend what it cannot see and The Marks We Leave Behind is a journey across that bridge.
MARCII MAGSON
Marcii Magson is the owner of Atelier 7881, Namibia, a Conceptual Design Studio for clients in the artistic, interior architecture, and retail industries. She is an authority in conceptual, visual and spatial identities, with more than 20 years of experience in Interior architecture, fashion, retail, photography, visual merchandising, and graphic visual identity development.
Marcii’s art is tactile and sculptural, often multi-dimensional. Profoundly influenced by Minimalism and the Bauhaus movement, her work is abstract and conceptual, open to be felt rather than seen.
“My material-driven process is deeply minimalist in appearance, resonating with enigmatic structures and ideal sculptural forms. By placing emphasis on the process
and the act of artistic creation, rather than a stylised compositional narrative, my work is as conceptual as it is physical. I am inspired by art through the process of craftsmanship. I like to get my hands dirty, get in there, figure it out and work hard.

‘The Marks We Leave Behind collection reflects on the memories we have of our past, both real and imagined. Working through the layers of truth and altered truths and these paintings are the results of a discovery process.
‘I like to find and recycle materials that I collect from my travels, or just in the city where I live and work.
The raw material allows me to give shape, texture, sense, and form to my memories. Then comes the recovery phase, with charcoal, oil, or paint. I like to mislead the eye, to give a mineral appearance that suggests a certain heaviness when it is not. Fragile and light, dark and heavy, these painting sculptures exist through the process.”
