Theresa
Martin's mixed media
works engage the subconscious,
psychological realm
in contemporary icons
often combining real
objects reclaimed from
nature with borrowed
figural elements. Inspired
by the form of medieval
triptychs and reliquaries,
Martin constructs tableaux
designed for pedestals.
Her work reflects metaphysical
speculations about
life and death, conveyed
in exuberant and sometimes
humorous fashion, and
frequently refers to
ecological concerns.
Martin has developed a balance between her somber content and rich surfaces,
with a finish that deliberately suggests the artist's hand. Through tantalizing
and surprising juxtapositions in works of a sensuous delight, her art conveys
emotions and symbolic content with the promise of deeper meaning upon reflection.
