Mark is a Victorian-based artist living and working on Wathawurrung Country.

His multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, visual art, and set design, grounded in spatial thinking, material experimentation, and the realisation of large-scale, interdisciplinary projects.

With a strong interest in time-based outcomes and the transformation of everyday materials, Mark’s work re-imagines the mundane into playful and thought-provoking forms that challenge conventional narratives.

The Linear Series — ancient inscribed artefacts whose meanings remain partly undeciphered — provides the starting point for this exhibition’s inquiry into how historical “truth” is constructed. This body of work draws on an original symbolic language through sculpture and drawing, questioning the authority we grant to objects, the narratives upon which history rests, and how meaning shifts and reforms over time.

Notable achievements include commissions for Marshall Train Station, City of Greater Geelong, Casey Council, and the Smorgon private collection.
