The Brooklyn Museum has in its collection a wallpaper sample book from Morris and Co., and the thirty designs shown in this book of postcards are from that book." [p. 1]

Beginning with insects and moving on to aquatic life, reptiles, birds, plants, and minerals, Marley has used his skills as a designer, conservator, taxidermist, and environmentally responsible collector to make images and mosaics that produce strong, positive emotional responses in viewers. Marley has a brilliant eye for color and pattern in different natural objects, and he expertly captures the deep relationships among them.
