Chasing Shadows is an exploration cued by themes of presence, absence, and destruction. Working in dialog with the architectural language of the gallery, and in consideration of the material decline of our urban infrastructure, Mark Cameron and Elizabeth English work with form, material, shadow and projection to consider what remains and how we might engage it.

Mark started marking art in 2020 during COVID. Since then, he has used painting, printmaking, relief, and sculpture to explore materiality, color, whimsy, scale, form, and the relation of the body in the making and experiencing of art. His work incorporates common materials, typically wood, as well as found objects to play with conventions of sculpture and painting.

Elizabeth English

​

Elizabeth English is an artist, designer, and educator who lives and works in Baltimore Maryland. With a background in architectural design, and a long career working with historic buildings, Elizabeth now investigates how built objects of every kind can tell stories. Inquiries into history, theory, fabrication processes and collaboration all lead to deep examination of the construction of the material world and our place in it. Her interdisciplinary approach ranges from furniture and garment design to printmaking, sculpture, projection and 3D mapping. Each project asks how the process of its making conveys meaning. Elizabeth teaches at MICA, and has previously lectured on the impacts of changing technology on the built environment.
