Jenny Martin

Biography
"The signs of human activity, the visual detritus of habitation or civilisation and the artefacts people gather to mark significant events or perform everyday tasks: these are the subjects of my prints. Whilst people themselves rarely feature in my work, the fact that they were once or are still in a place, leaving a mark, a wall painting or an object is what interests me. I want to create a sense of human presence and activity through these clues rather than necessarily depicting life itself."
