About the Item
Mackey's signature style shines through in this colorful painting of a barn located in the foothills of the Sierras in California. Mackey layers fragments of posters that she's collected from around the world and overlaps these with layers of paint. There is a graphic quality to her work as she incorporates lettering and words. Mackey's genius is what she lets peak through the final layer. The closer you get, the more you discover.
What all of Mackey’s work has in common is her interest in the history of the structures and the people who used them. She discovers forgotten stories told by layers of construction scars, signage, and abandoned artifacts. Over the years, she has collected old signpost templates and transcribed fading advertising signs – both of which she regularly uses in her work. Because of the prevalence of posters, especially in urban environments, Mackey also began to use this material in her work, adding a layer of narrative beneath and between the layers of paint. She now collects fragments of posters from streets wherever she goes in the belief that people’s stories are essentially the same wherever they live. The addition of these fragments, some of which peek through the paint and some which shout their presence, reminds us of ubiquitous layered narratives and allows for a more tactile viewing experience.
Mackey lives in San Francisco and works from her studio in a converted mayonnaise factory in the Mission District. Her work can be found in homes and offices across the US and Europe, and as far afield as Australia and China.
