MAYA PERRY

My work focuses on translating memories into figurative and abstract narratives oscillating from mediums and techniques such as painting, 16mm film, animation, sound, and performance.

By abstracting themes of the body, nature, and trauma, I strive to reveal how memories are created and recreated after a traumatic experience. In my work, the form of an animal or an insect sublimates the vulnerability embedded into being. Repetition of these forms elevates the immediacy trapped within stillness.
