| Dinosaur Heads Barcelona 2005, embroidery on found paper, 3 x 5 in |
Every handmade mark on any scrap of paper Marc Dombrosky finds (whether names, phone numbers, drawings of eagles' heads, directions to someone's home, a prescription, a plea for the purchase of used flooring, or a phrenology diagram) is salvaged and embroidered over with thread that most closely approximates the mark underneath it, in both line weight and color. Each successive found scrap expands (and complicates) the project. What may be a quiet walk from the bus stop to the convenience store is abruptly charged by a chance encounter with an emphatically scrawled rough draft for a first novel, wet and pockmarked from the asphalt. Marc's work has been included in several exhibitions, most noteably in "Skirting the Line," a group show of conceptual drawing organized by the Richard E. Peeler Art Gallery at DePauw University in Indiana and "Release and Capture" at the Kirkland Arts Center in Washington. In 2008 he had his first solo museum exhibition at the Portland Art Museum. He has been in a group show at Platform and presented work in the Project Space of the gallery. Marc's first solo exhibition at Platform was in January, 2010.
