This exploration delves into the significance of mark-making in art, examining how various artists like William Kentridge, Ellen Gallagher, and Marina Abramović engage with space and memory. Through a series of thought-provoking questions, we consider how marks define our surroundings and impact our relationship with everyday materials. The dialogue extends to the conceptual nature of mark-making and how interactions within built environments can create intimate moments of connection and understanding. Join us in reflecting on how art transforms our perception of space and place.

How do you set up the relationship between yourself and the viewer? Is there intimacy there?
