”Known for her bold large-scale sculpture and installation work, Reshetnikova carves, smashes and transforms raw materials into thoughtful contemplations of our relationship with nature and life. Subtle manipulation of stone, metal and bronze creates elegant sculptures, evocative of personal and shared experience. Marina's work is related to the inter-connectivity of the natural universe, its patterns and cycles, and its impact on the human condition. This process enables the artist to create powerful work which reflects the subtle harmony of the universe and our place in it”- Bruce Boudreau,
