Martha McGuinn
Martha McGuinn’s latest collection draws from the 1310 Queen Mary Psalter, depicting the tradition of ‘panning’ pigs with acorns. Inspired by the curves of pigs and acorn foliage, she crafts intricate metal forms, showcased in her Monk Chair and Panning Screen.
Each piece undergoes precise die-cutting with a laser cutter, tracing lines reminiscent of a 13th-century monk's handiwork. These organic shapes are masterfully intertwined, paying homage to the rich tradition of female artisanal weaving.
Monk Chair and Panning Screen were featured in Lyle Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, Metal.
