statement

Informed by a wide range of sources including technology and science, Darren Marsh is interested in drawing as a search process — the performative and processual aspects of drawing and making as an act that can be used to express our experiences of what it is to be in this world.

Through the medium of drawing he produces mark making systems to serve as forms of meaning making, a strategy for exploring the potential of the medium and a means through which to consider and communicate his ideas.

His work raises questions about our relationship with technology and the impact that it brings to the processes of making, whilst acknowledging the potency of the hand-made. There is no hierarchy of materials or procedures, the works are open ended seeking to fold processes in upon themselves and cross genres.
