The piece on the easel is for a show at Rehs Contemporary. I’m
humbled to have been chosen for its gallery award through the
ARC Salon annual. There are other works-in-progress here, too.
I’m a big Konmari fan, but I also find joy in some of my lesser-used materials. Over by the art table are all my
just-in-case supplies: paints, pens, pencils, old brushes and different kinds of leaf, and even a custom-made
emboss hand-press. Every now and then I need a ‘thing’ and sometimes there it is.
This is also my gym.
Over the past three
or four years I’ve
optimised my
workouts and space
needs. I have it down
to this rug, one set of
adjustable dumbbells,
a pull-up bar, and my
secret weapon: the
Tower 200 door gym.
I make my own molds
to build my resin pieces.
These are the tubs and
power drill attachment
I use to mix it. I went
through about 15
different kinds of
rubber to find the
right one for me.
This is the room
between our studios.
Part storage, part
think-space. I try to
practice mindfulness
and take even a few
minutes a day to sit,
drink the tea and
just breathe.
studio is the time when I walk
downstairs to see my family. I know
that’s kind of corny, but it’s true.
New York-based Marc teaches at Smart
School (www.smarterartschool.com),

(www.everydayoriginal.com), and is
busy evolving Art Business Bootcamp
(www.artbusinessbootcamp.com).
I like tea, and brushes,
and things that go well
together. I probably
spent a week hunting,
researching and finding
just the right teapot,
tea holders, cup, and
yes the honey has a
red label!
