Maria Pask’s drawings are the reification of the garden. They interpret the images revealed by God, which are transformed into something useful and beautiful by means of brushstrokes. They are often dedicated to or reminiscent of somebody in her life; people around her are also a vital part of the garden, as they influence both its ongoing maintenance and deterioration. It is no coincidence that she takes care of elderly people’s gardens, as well as helping them with cleaning tasks. Just like Mierle Laderman Ukeles advocated in her Manifesto for Maintenance Art, cleaning and caring for are creative processes that align with Pask’s artistic work. Ukeles is not the only inspiration, though. Emma Kunz’s life and work as a healer and artist resonate deeply with Pask’s spirituality and connection with the divinity, which ultimately act as a healer for personal trauma and emotional disarray.
