Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Liljana Mead Martin is a visual artist based in New York City and Vancouver, British Columbia, working primarily in sculpture. Her work explores themes of deep time, cultivation and evolution. Martin’s research is focused on the ways people grow sensitivity and resilience within dark ecologies and toxic habitats.
In recent work Martin considers the reciprocity between bodies and land, creating sculptures which depict speculative lifeforms emerging from devastated environmental conditions – conditions which are increasingly transitioning from science fiction into reality.
Martin’s work has been exhibited at The Klondike Institute for Arts and Culture (Dawson City Yukon Territory), Artscape Gibraltar Point (Toronto Island ON), CSA Space (Vancouver), Nanaimo Art Gallery (Vancouver Island), Zalucky Contemporary (Toronto) Wil Aballe Art Projects (Vancouver), NADA House Governor's Island (NY) and BIOMASS (worldwide).
