Love Letters
Photography, Video, and Actions, 2023
In 2023 Mary attended a residency in France and their long distance collaboration developed as a love letter to each other. It explores the intimate narratives embedded within mundane and overlooked objects of our daily lives. Each piece becomes a love letter, a physical manifestation of memory, sentiment, and connection. These sculptures were placed within both the controlled confines of a studio, where light and shadow highlight their forms and textures, and in outdoor environments, allowing natural elements to interact with and transform them in unpredictable ways. This juxtaposition invites viewers to consider the relationship between the created and the natural, the permanent and the ephemeral. "Love Letters" meditates on the passage of time and the stories left behind, challenging viewers to see beauty in the discarded, to recognize the potential for transformation in the everyday, and to reflect on the personal connections that define our human experience.
