Who Am I?

My name's Jasmine J Martin. I am an emerging visual artist based in North Queensland. I'm currently studying my Honours on the topic of eroticism in the Tropics, and I'll be graduating next year with a BNMA (Hons) [Bachelor of New Media Arts with Honours].

I had my first solo exhibition last year at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, while I was still in my third year at University. Late last year I also won the NAVA Ignition Prize for Professional Practice at my graduate exhibition, and this year I'll be displaying my work for the prestigious Percival Portrait Prize exhibition. I'm also participating in the Sketchbook Project Limited Edition, developed by ArtHouse Co-op in Brooklyn New York, and I look forward to having my personal sketchbook exhibited in the Brooklyn Art Library this year.

I also hold an Australian Associate of Music (A.Mus.A) in practical violin, and I can sing and play the piano. When I'm not making art, writing and studying, in my spare time I really enjoy to take spontaneous, weird & wacky photos with my Lomography camera, read, play retro Nintendo games and spend time with my amazing boyfriend and three beautiful cats.

Formless as Water - IF Topic: Fluid 21/02/2012

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. ~Bruce Lee
