Mariam did her BFA from Indus Valley School of Art, Karachi, Pakistan and did her MFA from Central Sain Martins, London U.K. Working in the medium of tapestries, drawings and installations, she creates artworks that are a physical manifestation of our globalized sensibilities. She has developed an original approach, incorporating elements of popular culture and theory in dialogue while deconstructing the historical narrative of love in imagery. Her primary materials are thread, fabric and found imagery.
