Artist stories on making and meaning.
The Mark publishes long-form features on artists across every discipline. We cover in-depth conversations about practice, process, and the meaning behind the work.
Founded by an artist. Made for artists.
The Mark was created out of a simple belief: artists deserve an evergreen space — built with their best interest in mind — to speak deeply about their work so their work can be fully understood.

Removal, Renewal, and the Grid that Emerges
Dan Charbonnet removes invasive trees from New Orleans parks, makes dye from their leaves and bark, and sews the resulting colors into woven, grid-like canvases built on reclaimed plywood. His work holds physical and emotional tension — both of which don't resolve, and that's exactly the point.
