Recoil
Mark Yale Harris;
Santa Fe, NM
On view at the Wells Avenue Plaza

Recoil
was created to capture the emotion of sinking into oneself
for contemplation. Born in Buffalo, NY, Harris spent his
childhood enthralled in a world of drawing and painting.
Though
honored for his creative endeavors, Harris was encouraged to
pursue a more conventional career. He states, "The artistic
passion that existed just beneath the surface of my business
persona was finally able to present itself in tangible form
upon selling my company in 1996. I began sculpting and have
since created an evolving body of work made up of alabaster,
marble, limestone, and bronze."
