Mary Abma is a transdisciplinary artist whose work emerges from a synthesis of science, history, sociology and storytelling. Her laboratories range from her yard in suburbia to the world’s coastlines and edge spaces. Her work evolves from her fascination with the duality of humanity's deep connection to time and place, and the collective longing to understand what exists beyond our lived experiences. By observing and translating the rhythms and patterns she observes in the natural world, her works bring the overlooked and unseen into view. A qualified teacher, she specializes in facilitating community-engaged artworks.
