S. BILLIE MANDLE

(American, b.1978)

S. Billie Mandle creates images that distill attention. Her projects question the histories and mythologies embedded in landscapes and architecture — engaging with themes of contingency, paradox, and faith. She has photographed Catholic confessionals, Emily Dickinson’s bedroom, and burned forests in California.

She received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a BA in biology from Williams College. She has exhibited widely, including at the Addison Gallery of American Art (Andover, MA), the Hyères Photography Festival (France), and Garden (Los Angeles, CA). Her projects have been supported by a NYFA Fellowship, a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship, and a grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and her work has been featured in publications such as Aperture, Cabinet, and Wired. In 2020 her monograph, Reconciliation, was published by Kehrer Verlag and an artist book, Stellar Skytron, was published by Dust Collective. Her work is held in several public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Addison Gallery of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Getty library, and LACMA library. She lives in Massachusetts where she is an Associate Professor of Photography at MassArt.
