Mattingly was born in 1978, Rockville, Connecticut, and
studied at Parsons New School of Design, but recieved her BFA from Pacific
Northwest College of Art. She has had solo exhibits at the Rober Mann Gallery,
White Box, and The New school in New York, and in Galerie Adler in Frankfurt,
Germany. She is also the recipient of a Yale University School of Art
fellowship.
She lived alone in the desert for a year, which I think shows real dedication to her project and I think that type of dedication, time and effort, is reflected in her work. I think that what she was feeling and thinking as she was working on the pieces comes across in her work.

The series that you posted on is a really interesting way to show time. Like with that artist lecture we went to during Film I, Chris McCaw shows the precession of time through exposing the film, it burning with the high hours of the sun, but here, Mary shows it in a less minimal way (and definitely less destructively). Her making the images perpendicular of each other creates those 4 quadrants of the image, which is really nice.
