Marcia Teusink is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores climate change, collapsing environments and regrowth through painting, sculpture, video, printmaking and mixed media. Teusink frequently collaborates with other artists, including an ongoing collaboration with London-based Ground Collective. She has studied extensively with South African artists Rosenclaire and has recently been artist-in-residence at Kala Art Institute (CA, USA) and The Studios at MASSMoCA (MA, USA), and she will be attending a residency with PADA Studios/SLUICE (Barreiro, Portugal), called territory / território, in 2022. The artist’s work is in private collections in Europe and the United States, and her studio is currently in Stamford Hill, London.
