Martha McDonald

Martha McDonald (born 1964, Pittsburgh, PA) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Philadelphia. Her "performances and installations feature handcrafted costumes and objects that she activates through gestures of making and unmaking and singing to transmit narrative. McDonald's practice often focuses on site-specific 'interventions' in historic house museums, libraries and gardens which investigate the sites and their stories to explore how these public places connect with personal histories and emotional states."
