“Be engaged in the process, and it will lead you in places you never expected,” Martens says. “When I’m starting, I’m thinking about the content and meaning of my work.

Andrea Martens, a visiting instructor of art at Fort Lewis College, is making the most of her time in Durango. Martens’ solo show “Confined” is on exhibit through February in the Art Library at the Durango Arts Center. Seen here is one of several untitled prints in her Open Space Series. Martens manipulated a digital photograph, printed it, then printed a lithograph on top of that image. Enlargephoto
