Maria McVarish
Maria studies the impact of industry and technology on landscapes. Formal study and practice in architecture, visual studies and design inform her research. She links historical ideas about space to the economic, social and geographic aftereffects of production and exchange platforms. Landscape, in this context, provides a lens for scrutinizing these relationships.
