Artist Statement
Mary Toscano creates idiosyncratic narratives focusing on themes of isolation, fatalism, and the threat of impending cultural and environmental shifts. Often represented through depictions of human and animal interactions, the ambiguous narratives suggest a tension between the individual and the collective, and manmade and natural worlds. The minimal landscapes and expansive negative space heighten the unease and alienation depicted by the detached human figures.
