Maja Sereda - Artist

Maja Sereda recently opened a display at the Kirkland Library, Kirkland, Washington. 
 "Home Reimagined" - "Her current body of work is a reflection of her personal relationship with nature, her creative process and her philosophy. Her drawings are "collectives" of eyes, plants, animals, bugs and more, living individually as well as together, creating a tightly knit fabric of our environment/our home. Home Reimagined looks closely at Pacific Northwest birds and their homes, and how humans are making an impact on that delicate structure."
PNW Bird Collective; "drawn together on a single branch to reinforce the notion of community. Each living individually but at the same time together within one larger environmental setting, our PNW home."
 Parliament of Owls & Warren of Rabbits; "A visual exploration of connectedness of birds and animals. The eyes being one of the most recognizable features on a face bound by blades of grasses and twigs with fir needles to give an impression of a nest. Everything woven together to make a whole." 
 "Marymoor Herony; Each year the tall poplar trees, which grow along the banks of the Sammamish River, are home to a thriving Great Blue Heronry, right in the middle of one of the most popular dog parks on the eastside - the Marymoor Off-Leash Park. The drawn collar at the bottom of the heron "nest" shows the extreme proximity to humans and their pets - a working co-habitat."
