Artists Statement
Combining fine art materials and processes with consumer-ephemera, Marten constructs conceptual narratives that are both otherworldly and familiar. Using art as a channel, for connection and critical thought, she parses out the formation of cultural identity via social pressures such as, what we purchase, consume, and digest — whether they be material goods or ideas. Through the creation of art experiences and collectible works of art, the artist carves out a space for contemplation, inviting audiences to celebrate the spirit of sacred individuality that makes us human and ties us together.
"Art is my telescope, my microscope and my time-machine." — A. Marten
