SAT 27 APR | SITELINES PUBLIC ART SYMPOSIUM AT WATERLINES

ABOUT OUR FEATURE ARTISTS

Marcus Tatton – Land Artist
Marcus is a public space sculptor working around Australia and New Zealand. Versatile in his processes and media, Marcus creates unique sculpture interventions to mark contemporary attitudes and experiences. Much of his practice is creating one off works for exhibition in national sculpture forums. Living in the quiets of remote Tasmania, Tatton holds a fringe perspective on humanity. It takes form both as a personal politic, of how we individual humans interact with nature, and as a world politic concerning the cumulative effect our species imparts upon ground.
