Bed Bugs
RABLEY GALLERYđź’›
“Bed is where we lose ourselves to the night and let our dizzy minds take on unsettled forms, questions and distant recollections.”
Molly Martin has a particular preoccupation with the bed, a recurring theme for inspiration. Bed Bugs is an observation on the fuzzy and fidgety moments before sleep, where memory and conscious thought combine like sequins in a kaleidoscope, and we are taken on new journeys through the dreaming mind. Here, the bed almost shifts into a car - driving or perhaps floating.

Born in the English countryside, Molly Martin attended a small Steiner school for her primary education. Here she developed a deep understanding of creative handwork and an affinity for drawing and painting at a young age. Through these mediums, Molly endeavours to process complicated human relationships and interactions, and observes them through a lens of humour and playfulness. Her work is figurative and plays with narratives that speak of themes rather than specific stories. Her semi-swaddled, squashed figures encounter strange and symbolic surroundings in chaotic and ambiguous landscapes.
