Like Grandma, Like Grandson

Mark is in the process of creating 3 mini-installations for the upcoming exhibit, The Story, at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts (opens May 9, 2008). He is connecting his own poetry, paintings and sculptures to his maternal grandma's 3 handmade books (created in Europe during the Nazi era). Here, he is creating a vase with imagery from his grandma's book, Princess Sunshine. His grandma was an artist and his grandpa was a poet. This project is an opportunity to honor his grandparents who were victims of the Holocaust and his mom who is a Holocaust survivor.
