Jean Martin
‘My work is initially driven by response to visual experience. It may be on location, when I gather information in my sketchbook and my camera, or when passing a combination of colours or plants in the garden, or it could be driven by encountering a beautiful artefact or textile.
I work intuitively, playing with the spatial elements of my subject matter, often incorporating components which are related symbolically or allegorically . ‘
