Mark says, "In my art practice I use photography, text, archives, stories and objects to create projects that emphasize exploration and action with diverse subjects. My work primarily originates from asking a core set of questions, while inviting people to participate inside of the conceptual structures that develop through the project. Birding the DoSeum is a socially engaged, participatory project that will invite visitors to explore the world around them through the act of birding. Birding is about so much more than just birds. It is about looking, listening, and exploring." BIRDING THE DOSEUM ine Ar
