black and blue: pottery and poetry by martina doom

black and blue: pottery and poetry by martina doom

Wed 10 Dec 2025 – Sat 17 Jan 2026

Opening Reception Sat 13 Dec 2025 7PM-9PM

black and blue is a project born through life’s most transformative experiences - love, loss, everything that comes in between and after. Through poetry and sculpture, I’ve reflected on these moments of connection we carry with others and the self.

Written over the course of two years, these poems explore the softness of what lingers underneath the surface, when we’re left to sit with discomfort.

Each sculpture is built by hand, coil by coil, and assembled in a spiral motion until they reach completion. This slow and intentional process mimics the pace of digesting our own behavioural patterns and attachment wounds.

black and blue is divided into 3 elements - black, blue and after. Each embodied by 3 sculptures with a corresponding poem. In spiritual teachings, the number 3 represents harmony, wisdom and spiritual growth. Together, they compose an integrated journey of the self.
