Marcus Newton is an artist and photographer living in Binghamton, New York. He has a deep interest in a nuanced wilderness: one that grows between the cracks in sidewalks and along the contours of civilization. Using photography and other image-making techniques he engages the visual language of the built and natural environments.
He keeps a short list of favorite bogs in his area and builds custom naturalistic vivariums. He has also been skateboarding for 20 years.
Marcus' work has been exhibited nationally and in Canada, including recent exhibitions at the Morris Gallery of Contemporary Art in Marshall, MO; Coker University in SC; the Exposure Photography Festival in Alberta. He has worked at residences through Broome County Arts Council and Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts. Currently, he is the Photography Specialist/Studio Technician at Binghamton University, where he also teaches photography.
