Animal
"Also by Martha Hastings is a carved erect animal whose paws are projected forward and whose legs are gathered up in a fashion recalling the great cedar totemic bears of the Amerindians of the Pacific Coast. This comparison may appear extravagant, for the grey stone sculpture in question is of small stature. The traits of the animal, of heavy but dignified bearing, are subtly suggested by the delicate channels in the stone block which serves to delineate the limbs and the features of the head. Furthermore, a few incisions appear at the level of the joints and upon the countenance." (Jacqueline Fry, Ministic Sculpture, Introduction)

Seated Female Nude
Cast bronze sculpture of a nude female, seated with her knees crossed. Her elbows rest upon her knees and her hands clasp the side and back of her head. Set against the smooth plinth upon which the sculpture rests, the form's surface is textured, speaking to the artist's hand in modeling it. In this manner there are ties to Rodin. The woman's face is formulaic with arched eyebrows, straight nose and stylized hair treatment (band/braid). The modeling is characteristic of the artist's work-sensuous, emphasizing through distortion of size the breasts (globular) and buttocks, with oversized feet and thick legs.
