Mary Ann Haase
Within our complex, sometimes chaotic human experience, there also exists interconnectedness, balance and beauty if we choose to pay attention to it. My work is about the ever winding path between.
The most authentic framework for my work comes in the form of a non-linear abstract story. It is constructed with the tools of balance and trust. My visual language relies heavily on duality, metaphor, repetition, nostalgia, history, symbolism, movement and geometry.
Photography holds a dominant place in my work. I value its ability to capture a direct experience. Most curious for me is how to create photographs that are “unbound” from the confines of a viewfinder in order to merge and integrate with new environments.
