Marshall’s production of images looks to tackle what he refers to as “a lack in the image bank”, looking at images from across the spectrum of culture – from art and society – using them to produce a new body of images addressing what he sees. He has collected images over many years, focusing predominantly on the black subject, and uses this archive of images as a material for developing a dialogue on representation. His personal archive of image clipings can be seen in the installation Baobab Ensemble, Gleaning: An Image Reclamation Project, located in numerous spots throughout exhibition.
