MARTHA LORD
REINTERPRETED BY MARTHA IS DIONYSUS, THE GOD OF FERTILITY AND WINE
In Greek Mythology Dionysus was also known as the “masked’ god of theatre and patron of the arts. It was believed that he could liberate people through wine and ecstatic frenzy, giving them divine creativity and freedom. He is linked to both the feminine and the masculine as he enabled one to cross sexual boundaries and limits.

Martha Lord
WE ARE OFTEN ASKED ABOUT MARTHA’S UNIQUE TECHNIQUE.
By breaking down images that Martha has photographed, she intuitively recreates a persona. Many hours of digital drawing and editing later, the final image is printed and collaged onto board. It is then that she starts to paint over, adding texture and depth to bring life to the work.
