Ian CR Martin Studio is an art & interior design studio based in Ojai, Ca.
Ian CR Martin graduated with a masters degree in sculpture from the New York Academy of Art, and has worked for over a decade as an interior designer while maintaining a studio art practice. Martin’s sculpture is composed of concentric lines, and interlocking shapes inspired by ritual objects, architecture, and industrial design. Experimentation with materials, and atypical mold-making techniques are central to his creative process.
ICRM Studio’s glyphs and mirrors are available at Lawson-Fenning in Los Angeles.
