Downham Lifestyles Centre: Public Art Commission
Downham Cultural Consortium has commissioned Mark to create a series of public artworks that reflect the positive aspirations of healthy living, life-long learning and community cohesion. A key aim of the project is to create a personality for the building and embed it within the community.
Lightbox Project
Mark's original idea has evolved from a simple light sculpture to complement Guy Street Park, to a unique community based art project. Five light boxes similar to advertising billboards (3m by 1.8m) display artwork commissioned in consultation with the local community.

As part of the Ernst & Young sponsorship of the Turner Whistler Monet exhibition. Tate Britain co-ordinated artists to create artwork with young people in NCH projects inspired by the works of Turner, Whistler and Monet.
