Marian Roth

Visual artist Marian Roth has been living and working in Provincetown since 1982, and has been working with pinhole imagery for more than twenty years. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship and Massachusetts Cultural Council Artists Fellowship, as well as a fellowship and residency from the C-Scape Dune Project to convert a dune shack into a camera. In the fall of 2012, Marian converted the concession stand at Herring Cove Beach into a camera as a part of the Ten Days That Shook The World Festival. A radio portrait of this project was recently broadcast by the local NPR station as a part of their Creative Life Series. Her work has been featured in many pinhole text books and has been shown internationally.

As a painter, Roth aims to achieve the same kinds of feelings invoked by her pinhole imagery - among them a sense of being in place. "I am not really interested in making ‘landscapes’ or ‘seascapes’ per se, but rather in imagery that deals with a more complex and idiosyncratic relationship between the self and the world.”
