Martha Benedikte Hjorth Jessen. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark 1983.
During her childhood she was very much influenced by her grandfathers. Both
their professions – one an experimental chemical engineer, the other a violin
maker – have influenced the way she works. She has a strong sense of
material and construction and she works like a scientist questioning the
known and accepted definitions within a certain context.

Her works are conceptual, yet playful and often with a presence one is not
likely to forget. She challenges the viewer with her works, which are wondrous
hybrids of shape, material and perception.
