Mark Orr

Carved wooden Ravens or Crows perched on each piece are the symbolic gatherer of found objects and messengers of new possibilities. These Ravens and Crows have become Mark Orr's "signature" adding to his artwork's unique edge. They often hold in their beaks antique skeleton keys to symbolize the "opening of doors". A pair of vintage dice might represent chance or even fate. Hand painted wood eggs suggest new beginnings, potential and ancestry. A vintage watch is to remind us of our place in the universe. The Ravens and Crows have become so popular that they are now the main element in Mark's one of a kind sculptures. They are often perched on carved wood hearts, balanced on vintage billiard balls and atop a variety of found architectural antiques. Each piece is hand made and carved, all larger artwork is numbered and carries the Scavenger signature.
