Untitled (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)

No. 1 West Mask
The sculpture is a wearable mask. The tiny holes act as a coarse screen through the wearer of the mask can see in order to navigate his/her surroundings. The sculpture, which ressembles a brimmed, round-topped, hat, is supported on a slender, metal rod which is attached to a square, rotating base. There are four, fan-like blades extending out from the edge of the hat brim. The blades are placed around the brim, equidistant from each other. Underneath each blade and under the hat brim, the artist has attached cut binder twine, the ends of which protrude through slightly. Two of the blades have blacktop highways drawn on them; the other two blades have two trails on them. On the top and upper sides of the hat, are clouds. On the sides of the hat, just above the brim, are trees and a prairie elevator. The artist has punched tiny holes around the elevator. The Fiberglas on top of the brim has been maniuplated to emulate the contours of the ground. Suspended from underneath the top hat, is a Fiberglas “face” on which the artist has drawn a snow fence which resembles a mouth. This is a prairie scene in the dead of winter.

Untitled (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.
