Amazing start to my Artlink Artist Residency in Fort Dunree, Donegal. Incredible site to start research for new artistic projects, thanks to all the great people there for helping me with making new critical connections. Jools the dachshund loved it too! #artlink @artscouncilireland.bsky.social

Martina's exhibition draws on inspiration from previous expeditions, including the Ocean Census #ArcticDeep expedition in May last year. It was a pleasure collaborating with Martina during the expedition.

Check out her exhibition below:

‘Minute Bodies’ video installation, Municipal Gallery Lexicon as part of ‘brittle record’ exhibition. The artwork attests to a more-than-human history of visual observation & asks how we look, & are looked at, in motion @artscouncilireland.bsky.social @oceancensus.bsky.social #dlrvisualartcommission

It was a pleasure to host Martina onboard the Extreme 24 / Ocean Census Arctic Deep expedition. Her exhibition reflects her experiences on marine expeditions in Oslofjord, Norway, and the Arctic Ocean, drawing inspiration from collaborations with experts in marine geochemistry, biology, and ecology.
