Mary Blakemore

Portrait of a woman

Mary Blakemore (b. 1982) works in sculpture, writing, and photography engaging themes of change, regret, and the irreversible nature of existence. Blakemore graduated with a BA from Cornell University where she studied Literature and Poetry. In 2008, Blakemore published Gallery Girls, a collection of photo-based webcomics which satirizes the New York contemporary art world. Blakemore’s zine Some of It May Feel Special but None of It Is Unique (2021) brings together a selection of her poems with black and white photography. Blakemore has exhibited at SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts, and CoWorker Projects.
