Veronika Marks

This audio is from our virtual studio visit with artist Veronika Marks in conversation with Brandi Strauss, and was originally recorded on February 27, 2023 over Zoom.

About Veronika
Veronika Marks is a multidisciplinary artist from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with a Bachelors in Fine Art. Her work explores the outer fringes of human consciousness through an intersection of mysticism, sensuality, and emotional well-being. She uses a combination of performance, digital manipulation, sculpture and painting. Each medium informs one another as she moves intuitively through them.

Through meditation and trance induction, Veronika uses her body with others as a conduit in film to physically manifest visions. The imagery captured on video is then used as research and inspiration for her paintings and sculptures. Currently, she is working with volunteers who have agreed to embody a stream of consciousness, while revisiting lived experiences with psychosis.

About Brandi
Brandi Strauss is a multidisciplinary self-taught artist and musician currently residing in amiskwaciy Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Using the moniker Static Control she explores varying forms of self expression using an amalgamation of techniques. She examines the ominous elements of humanity, and how we maintain to co-exist with the natural world - despite its chaos. By meticulously dismantling found images piece by piece, a new world and perspective is revealed. A world made of controlled yet surreal chaos, throughout vivid displays of recollection, science and the unknown.
