Makenzie Davis is a multimedia artist who creates two and three dimensional work from a reciprocal painting and papermaking process that directly engages the landscape in which it is made. Her practice includes painting large scale abstracted components of the landscape in which she resides, layering her recycled handmade paper with organic elements over the compositions as a way to draw attention to aspects of the land and culture that have been built upon, layered over, forgotten, or rediscovered. Makenzie also constructs paper-based column sculptures that reflect on important landmarks of connection between earth and society, exploring the Axis Mudi of meaning for herself, the cultures she admires, and the communities she engages with.
