About the Item
An artwork on paper by New York artist Miranda Maher. Ink, Indian marble paper and Chiyogami papers on Chinese “Cicada Wing” calligraphy paper.
Miranda Maher’s artistic journey is a profound exploration of discrepancies, mistakes, and the intricate web of lies that shape our perceptions. Maher delves into societal self-deceptions surrounding the discourses of violence, femininity, and our relationships with animals and nature. Working in series, components, or repetitions, Maher rejects the notion of encapsulating her complex thoughts and feelings in a singular artwork. Instead, she treats each series as an individual project. In her recent ink work, where marks sprawl across numerous pages, Maher seeks to comprehend consciousness, awareness, and the fleeting nature of a moment in time—a poignant reflection on the inexorable passage of time.
The artist’s creative process has recently focused on the profound act of making a mark on paper with ink. Maher ingeniously combines it with elements that transcend the immediate moment, integrating it with astronomical diagrams and 19th-century photographs. The result is a visually striking, intellectually stimulating body of work that invites viewers to contemplate the layers of meaning embedded within each piece.
“Earth’s Rivers Depart” explores the boundaries of diaphanous Chinese calligraphy paper, known as “Cicada Wing” paper. Employing ink and cut Indian Marble paper, the artist pushes the limits of this delicate material by painting the river in reverse on the back. The resulting artwork possesses a fragile yet impactful presence, with the very nature of their delicacy contributing to their artistic image. The title of the series introduces a fictional scenario: envisioning a world where the planet becomes so inhospitable to its waters that they decide to depart. This narrative raises poignant and timely questions about environmental degradation and human mismanagement.
