If I Could Be Who You Wanted

Original art by Marnie McKnight 

Marnie McKnight’s 2024 series, "Light Reading," merges art and literature. Inspired by her love of books, this collection transports viewers to a serene space where these two worlds blend.

Each piece exudes timeless elegance with vintage fashion elements and classic renaissance poses. Intricate textures on clothing and walls echo the layers of the stories being read. Occasionally, botanical patterns hint at a world beyond the room, waiting to be explored through literature.

Featuring iconic Penguin classics with their recognizable orange and white covers, some titles are clear while others remain obscured, inviting interpretation.

The Light Reading Collection celebrates the transformative power of art and literature. It encourages viewers to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in the beauty of storytelling through timeless art forms.
