Series 4, Episode 7: Maria Amidu
Maria Amidu is a visual artist and PhD Candidate in the School of Arts & Humanities at the Royal College of Art. Her artistic concerns are influenced by the complexities of the relational – between people and between people and place. Through writing as artistic practice she tries to substantiate what might be going on in collective situations, paying specific attention to what is hidden, obscured or unspoken. She privileges fault lines and weak spots as essential components in her artworks – fragility, fracture, instability, dissolve, impermanence, residue, mess, breaks, risk.
