Mary Babcock is known for intersecting her visual and performance art with social activism. Mending as an “actual reparative action” and as a “metaphor for personal, social, and environmental change” are central themes in her art. Her work is driven by a need to understand, critique, and speak about her culture, and is rooted in the desire to bridge two prevailing paradigms for art-making: art as beauty and art as social criticism.
