Water’s marks

“Holding Not Having (after Robin Messing)” (chromogenic dye coupler print), by Mary Mattingly, in her show “Water Writes the Garden,’’ at The Current gallery, Stowe, Vt., opening Jan. 15.

The gallery says the solo exhibition “unites photographs, sculptures, and poetry around water’s role as timekeeper and storyteller. It explores how water makes marks and sculpts environments through cyclical formation and erosion. What does water remember? And what does it write into the landscape? Here, gardens are both cultivated and fugitive.’’
