Mariah Robertson



Mariah Robertson is another artist who uses a reclaimed vocabulary of modernist aesthetics, in collision with any number of other cultural reference points, to examine the increasingly displaced material presence of the photographic image. The result is surprisingly, well, funky is the best word, I suppose, but it's also serious in engaging with the abstract qualities of vision, right at the point where they merge with the psychological.

Here is a short video that shows Robertson at work:
