Mark finds that forging yellow hot steel is as much an art form in the process as the resulting piece. He is interested in the physical rhythmic progression to producing a piece and has a great respect for and works towards honest joinery of the material. Mark draws inspiration for his craft from many sources including nature, dreams, shadows, and music. He feels that being able to visualize and create new designs is an essential part of the artist blacksmith’s skill. Mark’s creations can be found in many private and public collections in Canada and the United States.

“ The concept of Grave Goods is very intriguing to me because it involves a very deep and lasting decision as to how someone is to be remembered and adorned in their final earthly resting place. Forged metal lends itself well to many possibilities that can be personalized for the tribute of an individual.”

	'First Step # 1' forged mild steel $1100 The concept behind this piece represents our human journey through life. Learning to crawl before we walk, walking before we fly. The first step is always the hardest and although things become slightly easier, through experience and recognition, the journey is an upward (harder) one towards becoming a better person. The steps disappear into what many people believe is part of the souls continuing journey up an infinite number of steps of enlightenment.
	'First Step # 2' forged mild steel $1300 This works expands and continues to explore the concepts expressed in First Steps #1.
	'Memory Table' forged mild steel, natural sand stone $2500 An important product of our relationships with family and friends is the experience and memories from our times together. The purpose of this table is to display photographs and cherished mementos of our times with those who have touched our lives and are no longer physically with us. The presentation of these reminders acts, as an integral point of reflection with loved ones in our daily life. This table design uses strong materials and joinery methods that are worthy of such a tribute.
