Marinel tries to show the human aspect in buildings, something of the builder’s or occupant’s character. It is often the subtle details that reveal everything.
Houses – or details of houses – sometimes tell us a story about their occupants. They may tell us who lives there and how their situation or character is.
It is the occupant’s second skin, so to speak.
The ‘ravages of time’ or the impact of people on buildings often play a role in Marinel’s work. She makes up her own story around the building.
