Mark Handforth is a sculptor. He uses scrap or found objects and materials as well as he uses new materials to create a new art work. Some of his sculptures are related to drawing, like his neon pieces. Mark Handforth explains he conceives his shows like landscapes. Each work is autonomous but depending on the composition of the show, it can have a meaning but depending on the composition.
