Mary Wintour
London
Mary Wintour is a visual artist based in London.
Using paint to edit and fuse together images from interior design magazines, Mary Wintour imagines locations in which the margins of formal and psychological space are fluid.
She is interested in how recognised details of domestic environments can become charged when introduced to new contexts, and uses the resulting discord to generate a departure from familiarity. In largely omitting these spaces’ inhabitants, she explores a tableau of objects’ potential to suggest a narrative.
