Mark Yasenchack
Mark Yasenchack is a ceramic and mosaic artist using texture and glaze to create depth on the surface of clay. The clay tiles, or tessera, are combined with glass and stone tiles and found elements to create mosaic forms and murals. His inspiration is as often from ancient cobbled roads as it is from formal decorative mosaics; the lines often slightly off, the color filtered through a patina of age and wear. His work is inspired by relics, especially those relics without a clear providence, their function and place lost to and in time. He prefers to experiment with clay techniques to create carved stone-like effects or using water-etching to replicate mud-dyed cloth-like imagery in clay.
