Most of the components in Mark's artworks have had another life, and indeed much of what he uses is collected at tag sales and flea markets. This ensures that each individual piece has its own identity. He responds to the opportunities presented by the materials at hand, and he believes that each object has it own power. These household items were designed with style and utility in mind. This dash of panache carries over into the new, transformed union of vintage bits and pieces and contemporary sensibilities.
