Kelly Mark continually experiments with everyday objects in a serial manner, working in a variety of media - sculpture, drawing, photography, video and sound work.

Hamilton's Senior Curator Shirley Madill writes: "In Mark's world, art ceases to be a separate enclaved reality, but enters into production and reproduction so that everything, including the everyday and banal, falls under the rubric of art."

The investigation of the beauty in banality exists in specific locations for Mark - on the streets, on parking meters, on newspaper stands, or in telephone booths. Conversations and impressions that flow past us are caught by Mark and become her subjects. Capturing them reflects her capacity to view these objects differently than we would and immerse us in a new experience."
