In recent years Maker has experimented with translating her three-dimensional explorations into two-dimensional images, creating new works by starting with rubbings of the 3-D works onto Japanese paper. It was a natural step in the evolution of her art when she enthusiastically accepted the offer to collaborate with Bud Shark on a print inspired by one of those pieces.
I explore the process of art making while addressing themes relating to human desire and decay, death and resurrection, mundane and sacred and mark-making–both literal and figurative. The revealed surfaces present the viewer with a visual puzzle, made even stranger by its unique visual vocabulary, that opens the possibility of new connections, and new perspectives.”
