In the caption, Breezy wrote: "When I tell you I cried after snapping this picture at a rally for George Floyd today, I sobbed. This is our reality. This is reality for every black person in our country. Today I wept for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor, for Ahmaud Arbery, for Eric Garner, for Sandra Bland, for Tamir Rice and for so many others. Today I wept for my husband having to teach this to our daughter. And today I wept for our daughter, who has to grow up with this fear. Today, we wept. But tomorrow, we fight." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/1621948741365-2897IQCO7NXAAHJEHCTK/rexfeatures_9328176am-1-crop-1516623838-1450x967.jpg Blog - Powerful

work with words, paint and cardboard. Usually, I paint signs on cardboard. I am interested in the intersection between the political and the psychological: for example, how trauma or complex post-traumatic stress disorder - and recovery from it - might impact political beliefs. But my thinking is informed more by my reading in psychology and economics than by critical theory. I find the notion that the political is personal (ie informed by individual psychology) more interesting than the accepted maxim that the personal is political. Recently I have made works exploring how my own psychological healing has impacted my political outlook in ways I have found unexpected and disconcerting (eg (Off) Centrist Mum (2023) and I've Already Changed My Mind About That Bit (the Hostage to Fortune ongoing series, 2023) see below). I also love to facilitate fun and joy in a contemporary art world that tends to the earnest. When RCA Contemporary Art Practice students went to the Tate Modern to take part in March 2023’s Tate Late, I discovered to my delight that my painted cardboard signs can be a brilliant catalyst for interaction and engagement at cultural events. Plus they look great on social media, where a handmade, faux naive aesthetic really pops in a homogeneously slick digital visual landscape. My signage for this event involved shamelessly coopting protest aesthetics for institutional ends. I also adopted a fun approach for the RCA2023 show, with Mary Amelia London’s Selfie Art Photobooth, which invited show visitors and exhibitors to pose for selfies with my humorous Show Talk hot-take signs. I love cardboard because of its banal ubiquity. It's the quintessential quotidien material of our times: everything in our Amazon-primed, globalised world finds its way to us wrapped in the mundane brown stuff. I relish the challenge of creating something of value - even beauty - from this most humble, dull, unprepossessing of materials. I love its material qualities too: the way it tends to curl up when you paint on it, and how anything made from cardboard automatically has a down-to-earth, gritty aesthetic. I find inspiration in the works of other artists who are choosing to work with cardboard: for example, Gillian Theobald's sublime abstract cardboard collages, Narsiso Martinez's moving portraits on fruit boxes, and Rachel Whiteread's recent experiments with cardboard. Although I sometimes paint and draw images, my first love is text. I used to work in journalism and still love the word play that was part of my life as a sub-editor. I see precedents for my practice in that of artists such as Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger, and of course in Bob and Roberta Smith's. (I used to live round the corner from them in east London. Such a lovely couple.) Protest signs are another key inspiration: a trope of our fractious times, often as witty as they are acerbic. For my recent project Signs of Life, I created protest-style signs reflecting my own Mary-Mary-Quite-the-Contrarian roster of idiosyncratic political and personal concerns. Then shot them in the style of eccentric, occasionally absurd, one-woman protests in the spirit of Oxford Street ‘Less Protein’ campaigner, Stanley Green. (Photos: @andrewmboyd) Before doing my MA I worked in journalism, marketing and as a mum. I gained a Post Graduate Diploma in Art and Design at the RCA in 2021. I exhibited with the Shiftists group in 2021. Going forward I am keen to embrace more performance in my practice. https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/merchandise daily 0.75 2023-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/76520dc2-c0ab-408e-b3d3-3ccbd69cb462/Qualified+artist.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/b5eeb923-f5d5-44da-a991-6388e40f09be/Beauty.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/3a02cf8d-1484-4728-b911-91f3e2f1b899/future.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/8d87f9ea-ae3b-409b-95fe-9146f5b74656/Workshop+this.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/6761d36a-cd3f-4258-8ba1-eb57f361f773/Shop2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/ba282b8a-d3e2-4a19-8ccf-e584a5fd761f/I+survived.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/5f9e30d1-e1bc-4eb8-b29d-221704e75c13/MAGA1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/9006e7c8-080c-4b69-821a-91b3d2f1386b/TikTok.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/79beb632-1fbb-452c-939d-f4290215dbeb/Critical+theory+critical.jpg https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2024-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/a113053d-49be-4619-bbd2-3a2e92252e3d/521cff14-feb8-465c-948c-913719ca4e13.jpg https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/photobooth daily 0.75 2023-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/d77c0b06-d74b-4701-b029-025396f43266/IMG_6966.jpg https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/work daily 0.75 2023-07-26 https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/work/kitchen-homme-age monthly 0.5 2023-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/b1c93d0e-7856-4f8a-b0b5-26a6b4a1cd0a/IMG_5434.JPG Work - Kitchen Homme-age Kitchen Homme-age to Warhol l (Digital photo) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/1623674801527-SORJ9AAHBST3PWINE4UG/IMG_5378.jpg Work - Kitchen Homme-age Kitchen Homme-age to Warhol ll (Digital photo) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/0762cec0-8b8d-40b0-8d0c-d8dbaf092b5f/IMG_5225.jpg Work - Kitchen Homme-age Kitchen Homme-age to Koons (Digital photo) https://www.maryamelialondon.co.uk/work/mum-punk monthly 0.5 2023-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60645516af17ea666ced4972/ab64e5f0-34e0-45b9-a36e-e60e8dc707b1/IMG_5243.jpg Work - Mum Punk Who Cooked All The Pies – And Everything Else?!
