Maria Pavledis
My work explores the sensory and emotional interconnections and interdependence between humans and other animals, and a wider sense of patterns and forms in nature which I approach through a way of working for which I have borrowed the term ‘sensitive chaos’* This term strongly resonates with me the experience of making artwork, intuitively following an unknown path, traversing grounds of fragility and power, sometimes, playing on the edges of destruction, finding new ways of marking the way and inheriting others from fellow travellers. I have been strongly influenced throughout my life by story, myth and symbolic imagery and these continue to present me with a lens with which to look at and interact with the world.
Images are made through combinations of methods. Printmaking including etching and recent techniques of steam printing using plants and their dyes, and through ‘Fumage’ using smoke to create an image.
I studied Fine Art at NUA and Printmaking MA at Camberwell (UAL) in 2013 . I have been an active member of the print community, showing work, curating a number of Print Exhibitions and teaching and running workshops
