An insight behind the creation of the latest piece, ‘Elderberry’. Elderberry, an extension of Nine Panes I and II from the Shadow series, was inspired while taking a walk in the woods of Maria Greenshields-Ziman childhood home in Devon, England. When she created Elderberry, she thought, “I’m not really interested in how materials work. I’m more interested in what they can do for me.”

A view behind the creation of the latest 2023 series, ‘Lucent Silva’. “Lucent”: Translucent, clear, shining, luminous. “Silva”: The forest trees of a particular area.

Inspired by shadows cast as the sun moves across the sky or night shadows projected through dark windows by the nocturnal lights of the city. These layered works fall over the viewer, capturing the feeling of being completely enveloped by nature, the shadows stretching to touch one another creating a canopy of light and dark. Created through the collage of found paper, cardboard, and various plants layered in delicate overlapping silhouettes with spray paint and intervened with charcoal.
