Maria Subczyńska - Intermedia Artist
I feel an ambassador of plants, fungi, stones, minerals and animals on planet Earth. In my artistic practice, I use various media, usually I work at the interface between different fields, art and science, biology and spirituality, etc. I try to find points shared by divided reality by building a holistic one.
The key word for my work is internal and external consensus on biodiversity introducing harmony in the ecosystem. Mushrooms are in between, not fully classifiable, INTER as Intermedia, like are an interface between life and death. They are a metaphor for my creative expression. That's what mushrooms teach us - they're like the interface between the beginning and the end. They take care of the closing of the cycle, the circulation of matter, they are the organism in between. They teach us to let go of what was to go to make space for a new one.
They also teach us how to accept what has been supplanted by our culture: death, old age, decay, disease. They teach us about boundary states, transient, healing what is not pampered, building space for a healthy relationship with the difficult areas of our reality, showing their deep meaning and broadening the spectrum of their vision.
