‘Art Forms in Nature’
An exhibition which invites you to look closer…
Mark is a sculptor working mainly in cast bronze. Although he is using metal – a markedly permanent material – he harnesses chance to create imperfect and fractured pieces, mirroring the impermanence and vulnerability of the environment around him. Nature is a strong influence in his work, from the landscape of the Dales to the amazing forms that can be found in the microscopic world and their unseen influence on our world.
This exhibition will showcase a selection of work from his recent 100 day project based on the drawings of Ernst Haeckel from his famous publication ‘Art Forms in Nature’ (from which this exhibition takes its name), which became known as a “visual encyclopaedia” of living things. These will be shown alongside artwork which led up to the project as well as work which was inspired by it.
