Mary Abma is a science-based, trans-disciplinary artist. Her laboratories range from her yard in suburbia to the world’s coastlines and wrack lines. Through the lens of her work, she offers points of entry into the ecosystems that weave all living beings together and sustain life. She acknowledges human destructiveness and responds by translating the rhythms and patterns that she observes in the natural world into works that challenge the notion of boundaries and separation. A qualified teacher, she specializes in facilitating community-engaged artworks.
