Mark Bakema 1987 Netherlands
lives and works in Sankt Gallen Switzerland

I am a Dutch artist currently based in St.Gallen, Switzerland. My work is a nonlinear investigation that takes me into multiple directions that are equally important. The works I present are digitally drawn/ created by me and materialized with help of a drawing machine or a laser cutter.
With this working process I am pursuing up to date questions like question whether the work is made by a human or a digital program and how relevant I as an artist am in the process of making/creating and how relevant the matter of coincidence is in my work (or what role coincidence plays in my work)
