Mary Mattingly is one of the most self-aware people you’ll ever meet. Her work, which consists largely of sculptures and installations created from mass-produced objects she’s collected over the years, speaks not only to her creative ability as an artist, but also to her deep sensitivity to the world around her. “My goal is to create these structures of bundled objects so that I’m really faced with everything I rely on and consume,” she says. “And it’s a lot.” Mattingly photographs her sculptures in natural habitats, uniting our world of “things” to that of their organic beginnings. In the spirit of a kind of homecoming, Mattingly hopes to get people thinking about what we’re taking from the earth, and how we can use what we already have to our best advantage. Her work presents our possessions through a restrictive lens, showing just how much we’d have to carry if we bundled our objects to our own backs.

Mattingly has shown at prestigious art festivals, galleries, and museums all over the world, including the International Center for Photography in 2006, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2009, and the Biennial shows in Venice and Istanbul in 2012. Most recently, she took part in MoMA’s Expo1 initiative this past July, leading a lecture series about sustainable living for the future. Her new show, “House and Universe,” a collection of her favorite works from the last few years, opens this Friday at the Robert Mann Gallery in Chelsea. Earlier this week, we caught up with Mattingly at her Brooklyn studio to get the lowdown on what the show will feature.
