Expired Maxine Martell: Pulling on a Thread
December 2, 2021–April 8, 2022
Artist Statement
A friend of mine who is an archivist made a copy of an anonymous photograph and gave it to me. In it three figures are standing on the prairie facing the camera, an American Indian flanked by a girl in coveralls and a woman in the period clothes of a flapper. The image haunted me and eventually triggered paintings in an attempt to unravel the mystery. Sometimes it takes time to discover the correlation between myself and a picture. When I do I wonder at how deeply we bury the obvious.
My father was a quarter Ojibwe or Anishinaabe of the Turtle Mountain tribe in North Dakota. My mother was from New Orleans of Irish and French descent. I have spent a large part of my life in coveralls loving paint and what I can do with my hands.
