Donnelly Marks

New ideas are sparked by instant, spontaneous connection to the material. Crushed cardboard, concrete and rough textures are the raw vocabulary I use to build visual metaphors for the human condition in all its darkness, joy, pain and courage. Moving fluidly between sculpture and photography work evolves over time, one idea leading to another intuitively. Construction is vigorous, fun. Determined.
