Mary Lucking

Public Art & Interactive Multimedia

I create artworks that help people explore, understand, and change the environments where they live. Working in media as varied as concrete walls, street signs, and discarded cell phones, I use materials found in a particular place, and may be discovered by accident by a varied audience. My projects include art incorporated into urban and rural walking and biking trails, bus and rail stations, traffic circles, and highway rest stops. In addition to public art, I also create electronic interactive installations, often with collaborator Andrew Sempere and with the artist collective TangentLab. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture from Wellesley College and a Master of Fine Arts in Art and Technology from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I currently live and work in Tucson, Arizona.
