MAMA SAID (SERIES OF FORMS)
Using a combination of textile processes and mixing materials, Maisie creates textural and fluid forms to discuss the body’s many-faceted existence. The artist combines materials such as fabrics, latex, plastics, inks, mirror, wire and the like with sewing, weaving and layering to relay and reinterpret the surreal experience of being a physical body with a conscious mind amid chaotic creation. For this series of works the artist uses hand sewing, latex and TVP plastic sheeting, creating suspended, rounded, sack-like forms with varying shapes, sizes and detail to express struggles habituated in physical existence.
