about

Mary Lemley is an artist and writer working in text, installation, and performance.

Originally from New York where she made work for The Kitchen, the New Museum, Collaborative Projects (The Times Square Show). After moving to London her work in Britain has included in 1992 the highly acclaimed These Fragments We have Shored Against our Ruins, marking the Thames’ tides and former tributaries. In 2001 she embarked on her ongoing archival project in and around her home My Life in Hackney. My Life in Hackney Part One: Half of Everything – was exhibited at the Laure Genillard Gallery in 2006 and Kettles Yard Inside Out/Upside down 2009.

Flying backward into some future, from the sounding of three printed texts recalling stories of Death, Injury and Epiphany entangled in their geologic history. Concealed speakers resound the rich texture of this life in Hackney now. Giving space to a push and a pull between listening and reading. Words erode and re-synthesize into a glissando of new minerality with fresh sonorous traces of memory. Oscillating sound shapes all from end to end, from an entrance to an arrival: then connect back in time. A constant deep pulse of an amplified geophone with no place or space as it diffuses a sub-bass like the downward pull of sediment pressure. Narrating a whispering ordinary in the weathering of everyday sounds.
Precarious. Constant. Resilient. Words are just air.
