Mark Booth<strong>Art</strong>ist StatementMy sculptures are concerned with the appropriation of readymadecomponents <strong>and</strong> their formation into compositionalconstructions through systematical processes of repetition<strong>and</strong> pattern. They replicate the module in a non-referential,non-objective manner. Their appearance addresses issuesof transience <strong>and</strong> non-presence.My practice uses commercially produced plastic pipingthat teases out aspects of Minimalism, installation, <strong>and</strong> theimmaterial. The sculptures are camouflaged <strong>and</strong> bleachedwith fluorescent lighting. Colour <strong>and</strong> light obfuscate theobjects <strong>and</strong> assimilate them into their surroundings.<strong>Art</strong>ist BiographyMark Booth has completed a BA (Hons) in Graphic Designat the <strong>University</strong> of the West of Engl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> a BFA inCeramics at the National <strong>Art</strong> School, Sydney, where hewas awarded a Distinction.
