Mary Janacek: Torn & Transformed at the Mattatuck Museum

Mary Janacek, this year’s winner of the annual MIXMASTER competition, documents the changing world around her through layers of burned, torn, and painted paper. Mary Janacek: Torn & Transformed showcases her evocative artwork that captures specific environmental and cultural moments. From nights during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests to days when wildfire smoke blotted out the sun, visitors are invited to recall the emotions of each dynamic scene and immerse themselves in Janacek’s riveting work..
