Whilst the organic subject matter would gently decay, it is captured photographically, thereby preserving it for posterity. Mark then combines the image with other found objects. These marriages are largely random and occur through chance sightings and collections of secondary or tertiary subjects.

The photographic emulsion is lifted from original photographs and reconstituted on prepared surfaces to create the mixed media images. In so doing the individual fault lines inherent to the process emerge to compliment the natural fragility of the original subject matter. As each composition is hand produced, it becomes impossible to replicate and unlike conventional photography, each piece becomes unique, blurring the boundaries between original artwork and conventional photographic reproduction.
