Feature artist lecture with Martha Posner
Brutal Beauty is a mid-career retrospective of the artist Martha Posner. The artist
will cover her studio practice, influences and the importance of mythology to the
narratives she creates. Her work is in service to a better understanding of the trauma
women experience, providing perspective to those unable to speak on their own.
Posner is a sculptor living on a farm in Martins Creek, Pennsylvania. She takes much
of her inspiration from the 250 acres of surrounding forest, fairy tales and mythology,
