crescent wretch, a conceptual alias born of Rhode Island based Mary Lindberg, makes works on paper, textiles, and spaces. Inspired by imagery from mythology, nature, and worlds past and present, she aims to create visual worlds and scenarios to be held, worn, or admired in our surroundings.

When a moment, an experience, a visual message, is so special that you must preserve it in a protective encasement to always cherish as it were in that fleeting instance; nothing can touch this. A special type of memory, frozen in a parallel wonderland, untouched by mold or staleness; lacking nothing and festering only in fondness.

Something to pull down off those tall lurking shelves in your being and every once in a while hold in your palms, look lovingly into it, and recall as we continue forward.
