Maree Azzopardi’s new works continue the artist’s ongoing engagement with theses of the human body, religious symbolism and the polarities of earth and water.

Her photographs act as memorials for the people or place they remember and record. They include personal memories and family narrative and the works explore themes of loss, retrieval, commemoration and bearing witness.

For the first time, the artist has printed photographs onto linen. These works harness the symbolic power of linen in Catholic ritual and iconography, especially altar cloths and the practice of shrouding the dead.

The exhibition, open until June 2, is free and on display at Space B, Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta. It is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 9am and 9pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, opening hours are from 10am to 9pm.
