„Es gibt keine Tyranneien, die nicht versuchen, die Kunst einzuschränken, weil sie die Macht der Kunst sehen. Kunst kann der Welt Dinge sagen, die sonst nicht geteilt werden können. Kunst vermittelt Gefühle.“
- Volodymyr Selenskyj, Präsident der Ukraine

Black Artist (Studio View), 2002
Black Artist (Studio View) (2002) is from a broader series of photographs entitled Black Light all photographed under the conditions of ultra-violet light. In this image Marshall portrays himself in his studio, leaning back in a chair whilst observing a painting he is working on. The painting is 7am Sunday Morning, a street scene in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago's South Side, close to Marshall’s studio. This series of photographs – Black Light - has an inbuilt contradiction in its title as a way of considering ideas of visibility and invisibility in society, as well as raising an awareness of the conditions that frame our perception of others.
