POWER PLAY: SCULPTURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Donnelly Marks is a New York City–based sculptor and photographer whose work explores the flow of consciousness through transience, imperfection, and material transformation. Guided by intuition and chance, Marks creates new visual narratives from found materials—crushed cardboard, concrete, and metal—allowing spontaneous connections to shape the creative process.
Marks earned a BFA in Sculpture and Fine Art Photography from Carnegie Mellon University and has lectured on photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Their work has been exhibited at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (a Smithsonian Affiliate, MD); Westbeth Gallery; Prince Street Gallery; Queens College Art Center; Jamaica Arts Center; Montana Modern Fine Art; and Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, among others.
Featured in Canvas Rebel (2024) and Art Lives Here, Vol. 1 (2024), Marks continues to develop an evolving dialogue between matter, gesture, and perception from their Long Island City studio.
