Maria Wrang-Rasmussen is an artist, maker, and baker. She likes playing with materials,
stories, and repetition, chewing over imagery and concepts in different making processes, often
combining digital and craft processes into installations and performances.
Her work can be found on your wall with paintings and tapestry, in your computer in browser-based art, and
around your body as installation or costume, or on your tongue as sweet, sour, crunchy, or
prose.
She is currently interested in physical and digital ingestion, exploring media
consumption though ephemeral materials, creating physical collages from found digital imagery
on sweet edible wafers. She also likes to make sweet things and decorate them nicely, share
them with friends or strangers, from her head as a hat, on a listening hill spinning, or
simply on a plate, if you’d like a piece.
