Maria Garton

Manchester

 

My artistic practice includes painting, sculpture, photography, sound and installation.
Using everyday objects within the urban environment and natural landscape and also the virtual spaces we engage with I focus on issues that relate to our fragile existence as humans within these environments. Reality and fiction are essential elements of the ideas and thought processes that inform the work. I am  interested in how we relate to a sense of place and how our memories can change over time and can become fragmented cross referencing the past, present and future possibilities.
