About Martha Sturdy: "Martha Sturdy’s contemporary sculptural practice investigates the primal qualities of raw and rugged materials, often combining industrial processes with organic matter to explore properties that are found in nature. Materiality plays an essential role within Sturdy’s work, involving a highly-physical manipulation of rigid and challenging media ranging from resin, brass, steel and aluminum, to salvaged wood from the rural and mountainous Canadian landscape. For decades, Sturdy’s work has caught the appreciation of collectors, artists, designers, and editorial teams internationally. From the maquette-like wearable sculpture that adorned the models of New York in the 1980s, to her contemporary large-format sculptural practice, she has been featured in American, Italian and French Vogue, Wallpaper*, Harper’s Bazaar España, and Architectural Digest." In excellent preowned condition.
