the process
digital prints
Marika spends a lot of time researching images of interest. Historic images in her work are out of copyright or represent only a small percentage of the new image, so all of Marika’s representations are legal. Different images are mashed together and repainted to create a new narrative that is unique to Marika. Where a historic image is used in its totality, it is out of copyright; the image is refreshed and given a new lease of life through her art.
