Iterative Imitation
tyvek, embroidery floss, digital print. 2015.
Born in Montreal, Canada, Martina Lantin has completed residencies in the United States and China and has taught throughout North America. Martina has written articles for both Studio Potter and Pottery Making Illustrated. She also served as guest editor for the 90th issue of Studio Potter journal: Border and Boundaries in 2017.
Martina investigates the boundaries of functional ceramics through both thrown and hand built forms. Slipped patterns partially conceal the richness of earthenware. These mutations of historical motifs prompt the consideration of the role repetition and rhythm have in the exploration of the everyday object.
She has been a member of AUArts' Faculty since 2014.
