"Marika works in print, drawing, experimental film, sound installation and performance. Her print work explores mark making as a form of non-linguistic, embodied thought, whereby the image not only forms as an idea but can be felt as a physical frequency within the entire body. This frequency is translated through using her fingers, nails and the palm of her hand to make marks. She is interested in a point of friction where this corporeal process and the physical nature of the materials give rise to the mind-dependent image.

This series of prints explore the notion of unearthing light and spaces of epileptic thought. Working with monotype, she manipulates the viscosity of the ink in attempting to capture the reality of dark forms moving beneath light, and bright flashes that reveal images on the edge of figuration.

Through imagery connected to Ancient Greek Dionysian Mystery Cult, she has been investigating paradoxical states of blindness and heightened vision, thresholds between individual and collective consciousness, and a reintegration of the deepest aspects of human nature with nature itself.

Marika is a continuing BA student at the Slade School of Fine Art.

She has exhibited in London and across the UK, notably at the Candid Arts Trust, Islington (2023), The Crypt Gallery Kings Cross (2022), and Bloomsbury Festival (2022)."
