Originally from the northern English town of Macclesfield,
Marten creates her installations through sculpture, screen
printing and writing.
At London's Tate Britain museum, which is displaying the works
of all four Turner Prize contenders, she showcased collage-like
presentations of everyday day objects such as cotton buds, shoe
soles, limes, coins, marbles and eggs.
The award, established in 1984 and named after the English 19th
century landscape painter J.M.W. Turner, is given to a British
artist under the age of 50.
The prize, whose past winners include Damien Hirst, Antony
Gormley and Anish Kapoor, has previously courted controversy for
its unconventional choices.
