Marlon Kroll’s drawings and sculptures explore the connections between body, architecture, perception and the incorporeal. Formally abstract, his works map out parallels between human vocal and auditory organs, musical instruments, transmission devices and architectural forms. Posting the body as receiver or antenna, his colored pencil drawings function as encoded systems, as messages in disguise - a song, a melody or notation. Like portals or passageways they create spaces between seen and unseen, sound and silence, the physical and the spiritual.
