Martha Steele
2025 Fall FellowMartha Steele (T’karonto/Toronto, Canada) is a cross-disciplinary artist, researcher, and organic farmer often found, soil under nails, tinkering at the bottom of rabbit holes. Steele’s practice engages fieldwork and archival research in both consulting and translating knowledge suspended within environmental and social systems. Oscillating between cropbeds and the studio, Steele’s farming experience imbues her material practice with an honest practicality and MacGyvered solutions. In this exchange, her work coalesces within queer ecologies.
Steele is currently exploring the malleability of exploitative environmental imaging technology, repositioning its hand in seeing and building speculative ecological futures.
Steele holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Queen’s University and has exhibited across Canada, including at the Canadian Summit Centre, Hamilton Art Circuit, Union Gallery, and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre.
