Martha Wilson

Martha Wilson's work deals with identity in a way I've rarely seen before. As I was lucky enough to be able to experience both her current work, as well as the work she made in her youth, I was interested in the change of direction. Her investigation began as somebody else, utilizing costume and performance to examine other people. Later in life, as she aged, she seems to turn the investigation on herself, exploring her appearance and her insecurities. Her content is extremely relatable, as everybody deals with these issues but it's rare that they are addressed in the brave way that she addresses them.
