Her work explores impermanence, maintenance, and the unseen. Drawing from her Japanese and Irish-American heritage, she is particularly interested in liminal spaces, and explores these concepts through, research, ephemeral botanical narratives, installations, and two-dimensional work. Her subjects of time, cycles, and cultural interchange have culminated in a fascination with invasive species. Her current work explores the nature of invasive species, their environmental impacts, and their links to humanity, colonialism, and globalization.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Markel received her BA from Whitman College in 2011. She is the recipient of various awards and residencies, most recently the 2018 Amazon Artist in Residence, and the 2016-2017 Artbridge Fellow at Pratt Fine Arts Center. She is a member of the Lion&#8217;s Main Art Collective for Queer and Trans Artists, Seattle and SOIL Gallery, Seattle, and has shown throughout the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">Books mentioned in the interview were\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/25510906-the-mushroom-at-the-end-of-the-world\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13537891-nw\">NW by Zadie Smith<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9486\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9486 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=640%2C496&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=1024%2C793&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=768%2C594&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=696%2C539&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=1068%2C827&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?resize=543%2C420&amp;ssl=1 543w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/01-Nay-Ill-have-a-Starling.jpg?w=2088&amp;ssl=1 2088w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span id=\"gmail-m_-5654417596067186890gmail-docs-internal-guid-5fccd60b-7fff-d0b6-7585-608c1c088dfd\">Nay, I&#8217;ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but &#8216;Mortimer,&#8217; and give it him to keep his anger still in motion.
