Martha Coates Donahoo is an interdisciplinary artist who ponders the alchemy of time and the art of saving the world.

Martha blends pre-industrial sensibilities and technologies with discarded modern ephemera to create pieces that ask, “where have we come from, where are we going?” Their current body of work revolves around folk inspired garments cut from found textiles using historical patterns that are then dyed with foraged botanicals and block printed with hand carved blocks.

They glitched and patched through these structures, resulting in visual outputs and curatorial presentations that manifest infinite possibilities. Ones that translate immeasurable connections and examine the impending demise of binary systems. In addition to their own creative practices, Duffy is a member of several ongoing collaborative endeavors, such as CQDELab, and Mx. Studio.
