Author Description

Servane Mary: 2006-2018 is the first monograph of the artist's work, featuring nearly 200 artworks made over the course of twelve years. The publication includes essays on Mary's practice by Vincent Pécoil and John Miller, accompanied by an in-depth interview with curator Bob Nickas. “Much of Servane Mary's work concerns images of women drawn from archival photographs. These she prints digitally, typically in black, onto a variety of surfaces, ranging from mylar rescue blankets to plexiglass to acetate to plastic tubes. As such, the images become sculptural, emanating from unstretched material suspended in space or from rigid forms, standing or leaning.... If the photo must rely on a material substrate to make itself evident, as information, it also appears to be utterly indifferent to that support.” - John Miller.
