Her practice involves investigations into the liminal including unconventional structures of knowledge that mediate the rational and irrational modes of thinking such as mythology, folk tales and rituals; as well as the liminal spaces of the social.

Maria’s exhibition “Trash Talk”, executed in collaboration with the performance art collective M.E.D.I.U.M. she is also a co-founding member of, is currently on view at Helen Christou Gallery, until December 23, 2016.
