ELIOT MARKELL

Originally from Boston, Eliot Markell lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Eliot's sculptures originate from walks on New England beaches, collecting washed up remnants of the fishing industry. These objects, bleached and salted and twisted by the ocean, travel back to Eliot's Bushwick studio where they co-mingle with the tools of his artists' trade.

Work by Eliot will be available soon. Please contact creative@brooklynfireproof.com to be alerted when the work is online.
