Martha Lamont is a London-based artist who graduated from City and Guilds with an MA in Fine Art in 2023. During her time there, she developed a fascination with exploring introspective experiences through the creation of psychologically charged, symbolic environments. I consider myself to be someone with a sticky brain. A mind that makes the unstoppable conveyer belt of thoughts a rickety machine, one that too often needs oiling. Forever oscillating between optimism and trepidation, alternating who leads the dance. One of my inspirations is science fiction, where psychological, metaphorical nature is formed through the warping of reality. Through distorting and combining pictures of healing/toxic plants, microbiology and astronomy, my own strange imagery forms. These morphed symbols swim in fantastical landscapes. Trees’s dissolve, flowers breath, skies mimic oceans. I’m drawn to creating worlds that push against binaries, creating glitches that challenge our perception of what a space is, and fundamentally what are life experiences are. The paintings are little worlds: balanced on the fringe of reality and imagination. Worlds that ride on the edge of cynicism and beauty, certainty never in reach. Throughout the fog, a hazy luminosity persists. Inviting the viewer to take off their shoes, step in and come play. An invitation that could be sinister or safe. Or both? Sometimes I don’t know if they’re the same thing. "
