Martha Trethewey is a self-taught artist with a background in teaching English. Calligraphy, literature, and poetry inform her work as an artist. Constantly looking for the impact of line and mark-making, Martha’s work investigates the relationship of language between man and the natural world.
With an interest in antique textiles and cyanotype photography, Martha aims to remove as much digital influence as possible. This return to analog processes serves as an act of resistance in a world consumed by immediacy and waste. By working in opposition to current trends of production, elements of chance and imperfection are introduced to the final works.
Martha lives and works out of Atlanta, Georgia after years of living and teaching in Ann Arbor, Honolulu, Charleston, and Fort Lauderdale. She is constantly experiencing the world through the eyes of her husband, two children, and rescue hound.
