Contents

Between 2000 and 2004 McIntyre's work focused on interior spaces that had been forgotten and overlooked, her images conveying the atmospheres that resonated from the institutional spaces she photographed. [3] From 2005 onwards McIntyre shifted the focus of her work to the subject of landscape. Her imagery explores the relationship between landscape painting and photography. Her current work examines the sublime and picturesque in 18th-century European landscape painting. [4]

In her more recent work McIntyre has incorporated installation, using large-scale 3-d forms to accompany the exhibition of her photography.[ citation needed ]

Mary McIntyre is also founder of independent record label, TONN Recordings, which specialises in electronic music.[ citation needed ]

Schneider's photographic gestures are not rare sightings but daily gifts from the natural world for those with the patience to see them."
