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.

Influences often have a landscape or scientific background, looking at the layers of information available about a location, or the amazing forms that can be found in the microscopic world and their unseen influence on our world. His work is becoming increasingly focussed on environmental issues.

Based in the Yorkshire Dales, Mark casts all his own work and has a degree in Creative Arts. He is the artist in residence at the Mill Bridge Gallery in Skipton and currently exhibits at art shows and galleries across the North of England.

He is actively involved in the local art scene where he is on the steering group of North Yorkshire Open Studios and the Committee of Leeds Fine Artists.
