Collection: Mark Making as Narrative
Every mark tells a story.
Mark making becomes a form of narrative expression. Each line, gesture, or trace carries emotion, memory, and intention. These marks invite you to interpret, to connect, to complete the story in your own way. I have a narrative for every piece in this exhibition; every viewer will bring their own narrative. Every experience has a different story to tell; every story makes a different mark.
Art has never needed to reproduce the world exactly. From the handprints on cave walls to the paintings in Lascaux, mark making has always been a record of human presence – a narrative stretching across thousands of years. These early marks remind us that storytelling begins long before language.
This exhibition continues that lineage: marks as memory, marks as meaning, marks as narrative.
