Circular Economies Artist: Mary Mattingly (USA)

We can’t wait to see what artist Mary Mattingly will do whilst on residency with Shire of Carnarvon, Carnarvon for Circular Economies!

Mary Mattingly (USA) is best known for large-scale sculptures of ecosystems and imagined futures. Mary Mattingly creates photographic collages and public sculptures of imaginary futures like Limnal Lacrimosa (of Lakes, Tears) in Montana; Vanishing Point in the UK; and Swale, a floating food forest in New York. Mattingly was awarded a 2023 Guggenheim fellowship. Her sculpture, Ebb of a Spring Tide, opened in May 2023 at Socrates Sculpture Park.
