Creative Ideals


	Teresa Martin develops original abstract forms, combining her considerable casting skills with a desire to extend this process, exploring positive and negative textures and new combinations of materials. Their uniqueness comes partly from the complex process forming them. She doesn’t believe in making life easy for herself, relishes a challenge and desires to take her work further into the unknown. When in an alternative mood, she also creates works inspired by animal textures and forms as seen in their environment. Going beyond the realism of the animal’s presence she expresses more aspects of their physical makeup. During her sculpture degree at Winchester School of Art, 1980-83, She came to the conclusion that the creative experience ought to be accessible to more people at all stages of their lives. Hence she now teaches part-time at City College Brighton and Hove, Northbrook Art College,-Worthing, and at the Chanctonbury Centres in Steyning where she has been sharing her enthusiasm for sculpture ever since.
