Power Play: Sculpture and Photography

The Garage Art Center, 26-01 Corporal Kennedy St, Bayside, NY 11360

“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.”
