Mark Peterman explores narratives through photographs and multimedia. Although his work
is at home in the post-modern world it is very informed by history. A desire to be creative
on a daily basis fuels his curiosity about the human experience and he documents things
in sketchbooks as a way of remembering his life.
Since he was young, he has been recreating the world around him through photographs
and is continually refining his artistic vision by drawing on influences from music, literature
and art. Mark's work reflects a graphic, story-telling quality with a cinematic feel, drawing
on his design background while studying at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Mark enjoys photographing ordinary people who do interesting things. Although he is
primarily a still photographer, he has recently started incorporating multi-media and motion
into his work. Recent project themes include examining how ones memory is effected with
the passage of time and exploring family histories.
