Based on Polaroids taken over a period of four years, Home on the Strange: In search of the Salton Sea depicts various aspects of the reality of life on the Salton Sea. In her trademark style of haunting American Realism, Martin skillfully and subtly examines concepts of worth and beauty and begs compelling questions about the psychology of place and the search for a sense of home.

Amy Sather Smith contributes text to supplement Martin’s paintings, providing a history of the Salton Sea and examining the dreams that originally attracted people to the area as well as the pychology that compels some to stay and others to still arrive.
