Certain patterns and colours – the pale blue floral wallpaper in Succulent, the multi-hued knitwear in Blue Funk, or the kitsch flowered bedspread in Fool’s Paradise, for example – add an element of the visceral to her work, the embroidery in some makes the pieces ultra tactile.

Often taking inspiration from wallpaper or fabric prints from the 1960s and 70s, as well as vintage magazine and advertising clippings, and combining these with images from her own travels – they are cut and pasted by hand, always – Martin’s pieces have a timeless quality to them. “When I was doing those collages, I knew I was sort of anxious for a long time, but I didn’t really know why I was cutting the faces out,” she says, “but looking back, that’s when I began to realise it was this ‘derealisation’ sensation.” Derealisation is characterised by a feeling of not being present, hence the title The Absence of Presence, and the distance that is established between the viewer and the paintings’ subjects, a distance that allows for the viewer to “play a part” in them, and perhaps craft their own narrative. Having studied psychology, and harbouring an interest in “the unconscious process”, Martin’s work is informed by such ideas – even if she is not aware of the influence until the pieces are complete.
“I didn’t have a studio at that point, so I just basically made like 100 collages in a sketchbook and I painted pieces of paper,” she explains over the phone, “and some of them, when I managed to get them into the studio, I made into paintings.” Martin’s mixed media pieces are enticing, incorporating embroidery, swathes of rich colours, and the unavoidable lack of faces on their female figures.
