Mark J. Stock

Although i don't understand the method behind his creation, i do appreciate how he uses his medium. I love the fact that he is able to show imagery that people can only imagine. I have chosen a few of my favorites to show in this post




MAGMA 19
This is what i was talking about earlier how he is able to show imagery that people can only imagine. This is a visual representation of the magma at the Earth's core. No one has ever seen the Earth's core before but with science, he is able to show us a glimpse. Awesome.




WAVE FOR HOKUSAI
I love how he uses appropriation in this piece. He is appropriating "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai and recreating the imagery using his own medium. It is beautiful and peaceful. I also like how he mentions in his captions below the picture, how this particular image was very important for both art and science. It is so appropriate that he uses this picture because we can see his love for both art and science and how he shows us that they can go together beautifully. 




SPRAWL
I love how he brings up large questions with his work. Here he questions the difference between science and nature. With this image, we can see that there isn't much of a difference at all. What can this mean for our future?
