A colorful sunset inspired my return to the Culver Road Armory to photograph Mark Fox’s exhibit “Cut...ting Edge” as part of the architecture seen through the glass walls of the gallery space. The organic shapes of his sculptures mimicked the reflected tree shapes in the glass. Mark’s obsessively cut sculptures of words appeared as part of the reflected shapes and shadows in the glass. I was able to enjoy his work from a different view point. The works as part of the architecture are still beautiful, just in another way.The secrets of his construction are discovered when Mark’s artworks are looked at closely. Unseen glue and wires are hidden in the multiple layers of words tumbling over words, holding the layers together. It is inspirational to explore the construction methods he uses. I look forward to examining them one more time before the show ends.
