I am a French‑born, London‑based textile and mixed‑media artist. My practice explores memory, heritage, and belonging through hand‑stitched sculpture, salvaged materials, and site‑responsive installations. I create works that invite reflection on the emotional and material landscapes we carry with us.

Blandine Martin’s practice centres on memory, emotion, loss, and the fragmented nature of personal and collective history. Working primarily in textiles and soft sculpture, she creates layered, tactile forms that evoke landscapes of the body and mind. Through the use of salvaged fabrics, discarded objects, and ‘furious stitching’ techniques, she transforms domestic and overlooked materials into sculptural narratives that speak of resilience, belonging, and remembrance. Recent selected exhibitions include Outlandish (site‑specific, Asylum Chapel, Peckham), Contexture (The House of Smalls, Edinburgh), The Sky Is Moving Sideways (Stephen’s House & Gardens, London), Exi (The Crypt Gallery, London), We Are the Witches (The House of Smalls, Gloucester), EIDOS: The Shape Of Those With No Shape (Indra Gallery), the 171 Open Exhibition (Royal West of England Academy, Bristol), and the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art Open Exhibition 2024 (Wales). Her work has also been featured in spaces such as BobCat Gallery, RuptureXIBIT, and the J/M Gallery. She is an active member of ArtCan and part of the Unprimed Collective, a group of multidisciplinary artists exploring experimental and site‑responsive ways of making and presenting work.
