Ty Marshal’s Pink Clouds is a series of illustrations, paintings, sculptures, and objects. In an effort to establish focus in his artistic practice, Ty spent one full year (2007/08) creating Pink Cloud themed artwork while living in a refurbished Chicken Barn on the outskirts of New Paltz, New York. He occasionally revisits this theme with site specific installations, videos and paintings.
