Maria Braune's (b. Berlin, 1988; lives and works in Munich and Bamberg) work revolves around a material she developed; named Migma, it consists of eight different renewable natural resources. She heats it, then casts and molds it in a process that continues for weeks. The resulting sculptures and installations sprawl throughout the space like sensuous organisms. Associations of growth and symbiosis emerge, but discontinuities and disintegration come into view as well. Braune's creative process is part of an ecosystem and thoroughly anchored in the now. Her material is a vitally alive substance to which she responds in an immediate engagement, connecting it to mythological and narrative significations and setting it in relation to her own world. Maria Braune studied woodcarving at the Fachhochschule fü r Bildhauerei in Berchtesgaden, Germany, in 2009- 2011, then fine arts with Hermann Pitz at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, where she graduated in 2017.
