Raw // Playful // Materiality

Maura Zukina explores a multi-layered sense of identity, exploring the intangible thoughts and feelings that shape human behavior. Zukina’s work is intensely personal using materials and actions to create equivalents for her experiences. In her making, feel and touch are important whether working with the materiality of clay or with the tactile nature of cloth. Her approach is honest, immediate and direct with the deliberate use of a crude primitive aesthetic. The viewer can often be left feeling uncomfortable.
