Mark Purves is a visual artist based in Livingston, near Edinburgh, who reimagines the everyday objects we eat, wear and use. By questioning their original function and assigning them with new meanings, he transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. His work breathes new life into familiar items, encouraging them to transcend their practical purpose and become something more. Through this process of transformation, Purves asks us to reconsider our relationship with the things around us, opening up new possibilities for meaning and experience.
