Work

In her continued exploration of American landscapes, Martin has turned her attention to two landmark "saline" sites in the United States known for their distinctive inhabitants, nontraditional social ecology, and unique architecture: the Salton Sea and the Outer Cape area of Cape Cod. "Home on the Strange: In Search of the Salton Sea" is based on Polaroids taken over a period of four years, depicting various aspects of the reality of life on the Salton Sea.[1] "The Narrow Lands" is a transdisciplinary project documenting the architectural geography of history and time along the Outer Cape.[2] [3]
