Maria Lapteva Lappy Mary

Lappy Mary work is about accepting human imperfection. As an artist she is not interested in ideals, but rather in the possibility of existing in a state of incompleteness, vulnerability, and ongoing search. Through working with material and form, she explore how this condition can be understood not as a lack, but as a natural state of human experience.
