Collaborative Azulejo by Mark Gubb

A massive, public, collaborative, azulejo.

An azulejo is a large, tiled, painting (usually blue on white), found primarily in Portugal.

Azulejos often depict biblical, mythological, or historical scenes.

This would be a public mural of-sorts, tiled onto the side of a large building with an open invitation for community members to come and add a bit from their own experience/life/perspective.

Marble Foot by Mark Gubb

A marble sculpture of one of my feet, attached to a marble base - as if a fragment from a larger sculpture.

Include this work in every exhibition/project/installation I ever have, with an invitation for visitors to touch the foot to bring them good luck.

Over time this repetitive action will begin to polish and wear-away the marble, as we see with sculptures around the world purported to contain good luck.
