Bio
Art schools are unique environments where people have a chance to be around constant creation, invention and imagination. Maya finds it inspiring to see how students and colleagues go about making work, especially when they explore pushing the limits of what is known to be possible within a particular process, or find a neat workaround. Also, a lot of process-based practice needs passing down to keep it alive and keeping those analogue processes going is a big deal.

Research Interests
Maya describes her professional practice as continuous learning and knowledge exchanges. She also has an interdisciplinary practice, working with drawing, printmaking, photography and installation. She often works at a small scale but with scope to expand to occupy larger spaces. She makes work that looks at the everyday as well as highlighting things that she finds wonderful in the world around me.
