NOTES:
Created in 2013, Marble Head reflects Shantell Martin’s signature visual vocabulary of bold, black lines and expressive faces. Carved into a smooth slab of marble, the minimalist portrait distills the artist’s exploration of identity, presence, and perception. The asymmetrical shape and sculptural quality lend the work a raw, yet refined character, underscoring Martin’s ability to translate her dynamic drawings into multidimensional form.
