Mary Mattingly’s “Water Writes the Garden” at The Current in Stowe brings together photographs, sculptures, and poetry to trace water as both timekeeper and storyteller. The exhibition examines how waterways and cultivated landscapes record histories, mark cycles of growth and erosion, and shape lived experience. Drawing on her upbringing with contaminated drinking water, Mattingly positions ecological systems as sites of care, responsibility, and reflection, creating work that bridges poetic meditation with civic engagement. Across intimate and expansive installations, visitors encounter gardens and waterscapes that are simultaneously material, conceptual, and urgent, inviting closer attention to the entangled systems sustaining life.
