Artist Statement

Kelly Mark has always been interested in the differing shades of pathos and humour found in the repetitive mundane tasks, routines, rituals, and social habits of everyday life. This piece is a perfect example of her use of text and commercial lighting materials to express her characteristic blend of wry humour with a certain poeticism.
