July Resident
Martha Skinner | July 2025

Martha Skinner creates drawings that are spaces and performances –playfully subverting and transforming issues through works emerging as celebrations of life. At Lamplight she’ll be weaving herself into a drawing within a drawing of drawings –a durational performance in collaboration with light, space and the visitors to the sliver of space as a series of participatory performances.
