Mary Marino | Z-r0 WASTE
OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4; 6-8 pm
EXHIBITION RUNS NOVEMBER 8, – DECEMBER 16, 2022
The BrassWorks Gallery is thrilled to be showing one of our favorite creatives, Mary Marino, and the newest body of work in her show, Z-r0 WASTE.
Former fashion exec turned fashion activist, Mary Marino, saw a need in the fashion world to evolve to a model of sustainability and responsible consumerism. For over a decade, Mary’s commitment to designs that embrace individuality while limiting environmental impact continues to drive her creativity and passion.
She illustrates, cuts patterns and sews in her studio in West Orange, New Jersey.
This exhibit showcases her extensive body of work, focusing on the application of texture and color using “rescued” textiles, and Mary’s creative journey through the scrap heaps of life.
“I design earth-friendly pieces; wearable art that is a statement to sustainability, and a different way to look at and think about what we throw away.” – Mary Marino.
BrassWorks is located at 105 Grove Street, Montclair, NJ. Originally constructed during the early twentieth century, 105 Grove Street was, for many years, home to the family-owned George Rutledge Etched Brass Works company. The property was converted into a unique professional office building in 2007 and provides space for a community art gallery. Upon learning the site’s heritage as home to a family-owned brass works company, the partners decided to transform the building while honoring its past by naming it BrassWorks on Grove. The present building combines modern amenities with the faithful restoration of the original 1930 architectural details.
The BrassWorks Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am –
7:00 pm. For information contact Mary Marino, 917-744-9229, Mary@MaryMarino.com or visit MaryMarino.com.
