Artist
AUDREY MARTIN
In art, I hope to bring visual elements together in surprising ways, letting them impact each other, and form solutions not previously imagined.
Oil, acrylic, gouache, ink, wax and paper are the building blocks of my creative process - and I often highlight the "scraps" - the parts of the materials typically left behind or thrown away.
In this way, my work attempts to capture what we toss aside, forget to see, or have decided is not of value. For me, this process reinforces my feelings about our planet, and the struggle to stay in reality about the climate crises that is, and will, impact every living organism on earth.
All of my work holds the poignant knowledge that our climate is in crisis. Everything I see holds the grief of what we are all poised to lose.
My artistic work is my attempt to engage with the unfolding climate catastrophe and the misuse of nature and each other. I strive to bring the range of our vulnerabilities, complexities, and diversity into the canvas imagery - covering the broad swath of feelings and the surprising ways we connect, living on a shared earth, provoked by our planetary upheaval to come together in ways we had not known was possible.
