Artist Statement
Through disparate materials such as paint, ink, paper, found images, maps and silkscreen, Mary Larsen layers imagery on canvas and transforms pages of books to create ephemeral ‘dream-scapes’ in which images of violence and beauty collide and become confused; and time is not linear, but layered or spatial. Often, she finds balance and harmony through imbalance and dissonance. By both obscuring and revealing parts of the book; rubbing out and making marks, erasing one history and replacing it with another, a new history emerges only to disappear.
