Having retired from his career as an Architect he has enjoyed having time to devote to his passion to create art from everyday objects. Mark defines his work as Bricolage, a term used in several disciplines, among them the visual arts and literature, to refer to the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work created by such a process.

 

His art takes the form of usable objects that he reinvigorates and redefines using discarded everyday familiar objects, ephemera and castoffs of the past as a palette for my work. He is constantly on the lookout for the unusual as well as the mundane. His work can be nostalgic, historical or just plain whimsical, juxtaposing memories and knickknacks that are castoffs of everyday activities. He is a lifelong Detroiter, currently living in Grosse Pointe Park.
