Marilyn Rathbone is based in Worthing, South East
Subtle and labour intensive, my work offers an almost microscopic view of my preoccupations. My goal is to blend concept and content as simply as possible. Sometimes my research uncovers an underlying political, social or historical issue and, when it does, the issue may become the focus of the piece. At other times humour plays a part.
