Mary Mattingly builds sculptural ecosystems that prioritize access to food, shelter, and clean water, resulting in large-scale participatory projects around the world. In 2016, her floating sculpture and edible landscape on a barge in New York, Swale, depended upon water common law and inspired NYC Parks to establish their first public “Foodway.”
Continuing a collaboration from Mattingly’s 2024 Swale House on Governor’s Island, Smolarski and Darbes’s When Home Leaves You creates a sharing exchange of stories of climate change.
