Mark Swartz

Exploring new material and sustainability are at the core of Mark Swartz’s artistic practice. Working with a broad variety of materials spanning from bamboo to re-using car tyres, delicate copper wire, timber and steel, Swartz seeks out the extreme boundaries of the elements he works with. His work explores organic shapes, inspired by nature but always with an industrial intervention. People are changing nature dramatically and so to we need to think about how nature can evolve to meet the demands of a modern world. What does this change look like? and, how do we feel about it? are questions at the core of his practice.
