Mary McCartney is a photographer whose work is defined by an intimate and observational sensibility, shaped by an exploration of the female gaze and an enduring attention to the quiet resonance of everyday subjects. Her practice seeks moments of authenticity and natural presence, favoring direct engagement with her subjects over elaborate staging. Whether working in portraiture, landscape, or still life, McCartney uses the camera as a tool for reflection and connection, allowing light, atmosphere, and subtle gesture to guide the composition.

For HENZEL STUDIO, McCartney created English Rose, developed from her photographic study of the flower. The image distills a familiar motif into a contemplative examination of form, tone, and transience, capturing the delicacy of the petals and the shifting nuances of light that animate the surface. In translating the photograph into hand-knotted textile, the work moves beyond representation to emphasize material presence: gradations of color and texture unfold slowly across the woven plane, inviting a sustained, tactile encounter that parallels the stillness of the original image.

The piece reflects McCartney’s broader interest in revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary, where acts of looking become a means of rediscovery. Through this transformation into textile, English Rose extends her photographic language into a spatial and physical register, allowing the image to be experienced not only visually but materially.

Select exhibitions and collections: McCartney’s work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Natural History Museum, London; and the National Portrait Gallery, London, and has also been presented in gallery contexts such as Gagosian, New York.

Celebrating a Decade: Henzel Studio x Andy Warhol

Henzel Studio Heritage: Andy Warhol is a limited-edition collection of art rugs created in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, marking ten years of partnership. Each rug translates Warhol’s iconic imagery —whether vibrant or in black and white —into tactile, hand-knotted works of art. This decade-long collaboration merges Warhol’s experimental spirit with Henzel Studio’s dedication to craftsmanship, material integrity, and lasting design. The collection offers collectors and art lovers a unique way to experience Warhol’s visual language, bridging contemporary art and functional, collectible rugs.

Palazzo — Punk, Patina & Pressure

In Palazzo, Henzel approaches the historical rug as material under pressure, not an object of preservation. Classical patterns are cut, sanded, washed, stained, and weathered—pushing the rug from decoration into a sculptural field shaped by force and time.

Jwan Yosef: Intimacies

The Intimacies capsule translates Jwan Yosef’s paintings into dye-injected chromogenic prints on velour, relocating painterly gesture to a tactile textile surface. Stretch, scrape, and touch—actions central to Yosef’s studio practice—are carried from canvas into pile, where image becomes object and proximity replaces distance. Yosef’s work explores dualism and in-between states: authentic and synthetic, exposure and concealment, intimacy and distance. By shifting fine-art language into textile form, the series questions how medium shapes meaning and how the body meets the image. Each rug functions as a physically encountered painting, holding the viewer within the tension of presence, desire, and material. Produced within the Henzel Studio Collaborations program and as part of The Dual Terrains collection. Launched at Culture Edit Gallery, Los Angeles.

Henzel Studio x Carsten Höller

Carsten Höller creates mushroom-inspired works to explore altered states of perception, the dualities of nature—both harmless and toxic—and the intersection of science and art. Drawing on his scientific training, Höller has long been fascinated by fungi, particularly the psychedelic Amanita muscaria, which he transforms into sculptural “confusion machines” that challenge perception and spark curiosity. For Henzel Studio, Höller has translated this ethos into the Mushroom Rug, a limited-edition hand-knotted piece that brings the whimsical and transformative qualities of his sculptural mushrooms into a tactile, functional form. The rug invites viewers to engage with space, texture, and color in a way that blurs the boundaries between art, design, and experience.
