Mark Oldland creates art furniture, sculpture, architectural elements and occasional poems. He enjoys playing/pulling at edges, as between animate and inanimate, between functional and purely aesthetic. Juggling may aptly describe this pursuit. He's learned to accept and even relish the vulnerability this tack creates and developed a taste for working from the 'empty cup.' Compelling fuel for an adventure in design. Roughly 15% of his work appears on this site. Further information: 530 205 5838.
