Shantell Martin: Lines

More about the book

Martin's work is characterised by a unique freedom, expressed through the possibilities of her chosen canvas - a piece of paper or textile, a sculptural surface, wall or screen. She interrogates 'who we are at the core, as people', and since her beginnings with live performance drawing in the mega clubs of Tokyo she has navigated creative worlds to interrogate and play with the role of artist and viewer. This monograph charts her career and includes early pieces, larg-scale murals and commissions, and collaborations with museums, technical institutes, museums and fashion brands.
