Maria Markham is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans installation, sculpture, photography, and video, exploring the intricate connections between ecology, memory, and human experience. Her practice often draws on elements of the natural world, using them as metaphors for the interwoven relationships that shape both personal and collective histories. In works like The Ties That Bind II, Markham reflects on emigration and immigration, blending images of New York City with landscapes from her childhood in Greystones, Ireland. Through this layering, she draws parallels between the hidden networks of tree roots and the enduring, often unseen threads that connect people across distances. Her art invites viewers to contemplate resilience, belonging, and the invisible bonds that tie us to place, ancestry, and one another. Collectors are drawn to Markham’s work for its thoughtful integration of natural and human narratives, its conceptual depth, and its ability to transform spaces into contemplative environments. Each piece resonates with both beauty and meaning, offering a lasting presence that engages the mind and the senses.
