Tornado Jet, 2009, Mark Folds
Mark Folds’ practice uses a wide range of media including sculpture, performative activity, installation, text, video and ‘outstallation’ to explore themes that arise from notions of identity and place. By making small physical changes to a place, Mark anticipates a change in his audiences’ perceptions. By sowing subtle visual seeds, he encourages us to look again, to re-think and re-engage with our environment. His work triggers questions about commonly held and learned perceptions; by turning these on their head he offers an alternative way of seeing.
