Modern Fossils

David Horowitz and Judith Marchand have been collaborating since November 2016. They have produced several commercial commissions together including: 10 plaster fresco murals for Joie Clothing Boutique, which are installed in retail stores across the country (from Madison Avenue in NYC to Santa Monica CA), as well as a 500 square foot Urban Fossil (a cement and plaster installation) for Current/Elliott Flagship Fashion Boutique on Fillmore Street in San Francisco CA. These collaborations have led to the current Modern Fossil series. Together, Judith and David have exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, have received several awards, have been guest lecturers, and have amassed a large following of loyal Modern Fossils fans.

Their original plaster castings, inspired by the storm drain and manhole covers in their local river towns, represent the truth that the river's health is key to their local community's existence and future. They create the images in their pieces using both natural materials and man-made detritus that we find during clean-ups of the river and it's environment. Their artwork embodies mankind's struggle to maintain a balanced relationship with nature. Their pieces also portray the environmental message proclaiming the necessity of keeping our waterways clean & healthy.
