Marianna Ebersoll’s practice spans sculpture, installations, ceramics, video and photography. Through the manipulation of these various materials, she explores a kind of non-fictional visual storytelling that utilises science, data, news and everyday moments to navigate personal and universal contemporary experience. Her choice of materials highlights an obsession with process while also acting as a vehicle for content. Using predominantly harvested clay as a catalyst for the conception of her work, she explores natural associations and traces of human touch embedded in objects and environments. Through this physical and emotional tactility, her works navigate connection and disconnection, environmental movements and their impacts, daily ritualistic processes and the sacredness that exists every day. Marianna questions what it means to be a body today.
Marianna graduated from National Art School in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in ceramics. Her work has since been included in various group exhibitions across Sydney. She was also a finalist in the Little Things Art Prize held at Saint Cloche gallery in 2020.
