TIME’S FORGOTTEN GARDEN

by Marilyn Propp and David Jones

Artists Marilyn Propp and David Jones bring two distinct—but deeply intertwined—worlds into focus, shaped by decades of making, questioning, and rebuilding.

Marilyn’s work exists at the edge of warning and wonder. Vivid color pulls you in, only for you to realize you're staring into microscopic collisions: marine life brushing up against metal scraps, fragments, and the human-made leftovers drifting through our waters. Her pieces carry the tension between ecological harm and nature’s stubborn ability to regenerate and reclaim. Many of her larger works grow from smaller wooden panels—an ecosystem that refuses to be undone.

David’s work is layered, introspective, and quietly expansive. A lifelong photographer and printmaker, he merges traditional processes with experimental ones, building imagery that feels like memory sediment: timelines stacked, moments resurfacing. Depth formed from fragments. The past and present stitched into something that hums with years of searching, shifting, transforming.

Together, as co-founders of AP3, their practices converge—metal, time, pressure, resilience—and the stories that remain imprinted long after the initial moment fades.
