Maria Finn’s work revolves around memory, time and landscape. Significant for her practice is an inter-medial approach that involves several different media such as photography, drawing and video, as well as wall drawings. Language also plays a vital role, where she deconstructs existing fiction or creates new based on her own texts. These fragmented stories are presented in scenarios that convey mental states and subconscious processes. Recurring motifs are landscapes and patterns with which Finn investigates how we represent nature.
