Deborah Martin Uncanny Luminosity By Christopher Busa

Martin seems motivated by the jumble of memory, wanting some confusion to activate her emotion. In the last five years, Deborah Martin has concentrated on painting local habitations far removed from mainstream America, yet evoking quintessential core values in our national psychology. She manages to avoid a voyeuristic curiosity while honestly exposing unselfconscious attitudes of strange places where people have made themselves comfortable.
