Mary Carlson

Mary Carlson is at home in a variety of mediums ranging from glass, paper, and photography to ceramics and yarn. Her work is quietly humorous, yet belies an insightful perspective on the world around us. Through playing with the forms of everyday life, Carlson transforms their meanings in subtle ways as she brings her viewers toward a more thoughtful understanding of their surroundings. 


Carlson’s work has been shown most recently in solo exhibitions at Studio 10 in Bushwick, Brooklyn (2012); Omi International Arts Center in Ghent, NY (2010); and the Bill Maynes Gallery in New York (2001); among others. She has also been exhibited at the Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York, (2005); Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, Poland (1997); the Venice Biennale (1995); and Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany (1992); among many others. She is represented by Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York.
