As Above, So Below: A Fascination with Alchemy Run Rampant.

My name is Maria Louise, and I make things. I’ve always been fascinated with the concept that everything we create as people comes first from the Earth. Spaceships, skyscrapers, life-saving medicine, all developed from things you could theoretically find on the ground.

I have taken it up as a hobby to find out how much technology I can enjoy from things I find in the woods, and also how little modern technology I can get away without using. It’s been a fun game, and one that I love talking about. I have sometimes taken this to extremes, but I always make sure to have one foot firmly rooted in where humanity and my culture is right now.

Follow along as I keep exploring these concepts through my art and jewelry, and also sometimes just paint dogs.
