Past Perfect Future Tense by Holly Ballard Martz

Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to present our first one-person exhibition by Seattle artist Holly Ballard Martz. The artist has made work about the objectification, commodification, and control wielded over women’s bodies for years. This exhibition continues that investigation, focusing on aging as a woman in our youth-obsessed culture. Incorporating a variety of materials, ranging from vintage quilts to disposable injection needles to detachable bra straps, the artist creates sculpture that addresses the loss of skin elasticity and the effects of gravity on that skin.
