The Orcas Island Artworks features three dimensional work by Olga artist Maria Papademetriou through the month of August.
Using found objects as a vocabulary of symbols and form, Maria has created iconic, shrine-like objects which she conceives as deities or nature spirits. Having grown up in the Greek Orthodox tradition, “objects used in ritual, such as shrines and personal altars, were ever present in my childhood and continue to occupy my creative consciousness.” Those who know and love Maria’s art from her many years at the Artworks will find this inspired body of work an exciting new development.
The Artworks is open daily from 10 to 6.
