Mary Way’s paintings explore architectural spaces, using imag es of the built environment as a starting point and manipulating these forms to create a new kind of abstract space that rests somewhere between an existing reality and the imagination of the viewer.
This relationship between the viewer and the painting is important as the compositions are designed to play on the human compulsion to understand our surroundings. The works manipulate the viewers’ perceptions by using transparent layers of paint and glazes to create impossible and contradictory depths that form a kind of visual barrier that the viewer must surmount to gain a full understanding of the space.
