Mark Feldman

After earning a BA in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, Mark received his Master of Architecture degree in 1980 from the University of New Mexico.  Using the arts he learned, he has designed and built hundreds of custom homes in the Southwest.  Each one is a unique design bringing together human desires, natural systems, and sculptural forms. In 2000, he started to study stone carving with several leading sculptors from the region and the world.

In abstract stone carving, my goal is to place strong organic forms in direct contrast with iconic objects to stimulate imagination and memories.  The contrasts between the natural and the man-made, the rough and the smooth, the new and the old are what give the emotional content to my work.  I want my sculptures not only to be viewed, but to be touched and pondered.  I feel that a sculpture succeeds when it elicits in each viewer unique and strong feelings, images, and memories.
