Memory Vessels
Sculptures inspired by First World War naval photographs. They reflect on the pathos of obsolete power, and the tragedy of imperialism while subverting the naval museum aesthetic. Mark draws parallels between model-making and ancient shamanic practices.
Here he highlights the dangers of arms races and unsustainable competition, as relevant now as in the early 20th century. £600-£3000
