MARYKATE MAHER

MaryKate Maher works in both sculpture and collage. She utilizes abstraction, symbols and repetitive forms to reference the body, geology and mythologies found in landscapes. Her sculptures focus on objects that are weighted and grounded, referencing lines, shapes and textures found in nature, such as rocks, site markers, and geological phenomena.

Maher’s collage works complement her sculptures by focusing on the compression of space and light. Her use of gradients and repetition of circular orbs create planes of depth, questioning their sense of volume and dimension.

In all of Maher’s works, forms and themes repeat like fragments of a visual grammar. Her application of different materials and components become foundational to her process where many small movements combine to create a larger voluminous form.
