Origins is a collection of works by Mark Charlton inspired by nature and time; it explores creation through the notion of all things in the universe being connected by the very elements that make us.
The collection has been created by developing and experimenting with new processes that embrace minimalism, balance and surface texture. Using methods of layering, the pieces are constructed over time using a wide range of paper and paint materials, weathered and deconstructed to leave a subtle unplanned beauty within the decay.
Abstract in appearance, the pieces have been made with an organic, visceral quality and represent silent microscopic fragments that invoke a deep personal response to the composition.
