Marshall To | Blank Notes

About this episode

Marshall To discusses his journey as a multidisciplinary artist and the integration of western and eastern influences in his work.

Marshall To is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on photography, painting and illustrations. He grew up uniquely in a Taoist family in a small town called Red Deer which created a unique integration of western landscape and eastern beliefs. He moved to Vancouver where he currently resides working as a Chef - growing up in a Chinese immigrant household food was integral to the culture and more importantly a language used to communicate. Unsatisfied with just cooking Marshall began taking pictures of food and quickly began photographing and styling for local magazines and websites then off to an endeavor to seek even more with photography and art. His first monograph, Blank Notes, is a book that combines that unique integration of western and immediate landscapes with eastern rituals and belief. https://marshalljamesto.com https://www.instagram.com/marshalljamesto https://charcoalbookclub.com/collections/recent-books/products/blank-notes?variant=42002660819031 This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club Begin Building your dream photobook library today at https://charcoalbookclub.com
