Martha Madigan,
a Philadelphia artist, is best known for
her exquisite solar photograms that refer to, record, and/or transform
aspects of nature and the human figure. In her work, Madigan seeks
to find "the essential truth in the teachings of nature;
death and life as a continuum; the temporary nature of the body;
and the struggle between human desire and spiritual evolution."
For more than twenty-five years Madigan has explored a variety
of photographic light sensitive materials from the earliest cyanotype
process to the latest technology in digital color photography.
A tenured Professor at Tyler School
of Art, Temple University, Martha Madigan has actively exhibited
in this country and abroad. Her work is represented in prestigious
museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, The
Detroit Institute of Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Madigan has received
numerous awards of distinction including a 1996 Leeway Grant for
Excellence in Photography. Recently, Madigan completed Elements,
a large scale public art sculpture incorporating glass and photographic
imagery for the west Atrium of the First Union Center in Philadelphia.
