"Night Gardens" seriesNight Gardens is a series of photographic collages that explores the garden as a site of myth, memory, adaptation, and ecological change. Layering photographs and drawings of plants, photographing inside aquariums, making fabric and cut-paper flowers, the works conjure speculative landscapes where cultivated flora, wild growth, and climate-shifted ecosystems overlap.

Bundles
In a personal project, Mattingly bundled her belongings into sculptural forms to highlight her own consumption in a more iconic form. She utilized the bundles for absurd performances about personal consumption.
For now there is still poetry
"Among the pieces, trembling softly but perceptibly, like a sleeping bird, there throbbed, mysteriously, a compass." ― Jorge Luis Borges, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius
Photographs can depict both the intimate and the infinite. They inspire wonder and possibilities and reveal new questions.
