Bella Martin'March of the Matriarch', 2025 “All we have to do is to wake up and change.” —Greta Thunberg A team member of Laird and Good Company, Bella Martin, expresses her creativity through photography and mixed media, drawing inspiration from the natural world, the power of the feminine and music. In a world increasingly shaped by urbanisation and technology, our ties to the land and to each other have become distant. Intrigued by the changing seasons, evolving landscapes, and our shifting relationship with nature, Bella reflects on how far we’ve drifted from our ancestral roots. Bella’s greatest love is photography. She likes to capture moments of earthly beauty that bring her joy and a sense of grounding. However, since moving to London, with fewer opportunities to get out into nature, she has embraced collage as a new creative outlet. Using second-hand materials, she explores themes of magical realism and protest art - a wonderful escape in a sometimes unsettling world.
