Through obsessive modes of collecting and repetitive acts, multimedia artist Kelly Mark documents the daily rituals of urban life. Mark's projects and multiples include an ongoing life-long collection of knives stolen from friends and restaurants, a salt and pepper shaker chess set, a postcard edition that states "Everything is Interesting," and a collection of public transit transfers transformed into origami.
