Maria Rosati is an artist and printmaker working across print disciplines with a focus in screen and intaglio. In looking at the things that have influenced our perception of self and how we are shaped into the people we become, Maria explores this idea of trace and lineage through experiences that balance between big and small, individual but not unique. Working in print for its inherent quality of trace, chance, and impression, Maria creates work that continuously builds on her experiences, using layering and state changes to act as evidence of labor and history. Her work includes traditional prints, large-scale sequential series, and state changes, with the process of printing often functioning as performance. She works with found imagery from pop culture, advertising, and her family’s archive, as well as text and drawing rooted in personal narrative. The use of digital and photo manipulation processes are essential in her work, with the act of translation from image to print becoming a cycle of dissection and reconstruction. Currently, her work focuses on body neutrality, the effects of fatphobia, shame, and family, creating project-based, process-driven pieces.
