Garry Martin is based in edenbridge, South East
I love daft objects that don't really make sense.
So I am a sculptor who likes to create beautiful and engaging works that make the viewer think again.
I manipulate familiar objects and use surface and illusion as tools to entice. I primarily use fibreglass and various resin techniques, often involving complex casting methods, to achive a high degree of quality.
