Mark Datodi is a sculptor and metalworker who creates large scale public artworks.

His artworks during the early 2000's often juxtaposed abstract forms relating to the pattern of road plans with images of rooftops, native grass trees or power line towers. These exquisitely made works combined sculptural elements, such as the 3D balsa wood street patterns, with screen-printing directly onto the wooden surface of the artworks.

Over the last few years his works have become even more poetic and pared back. He has zeroed in on the patterns of nature, printing leaf skeletons over wooden panels that are then cut and re-spliced, 3D land contours worm their way across wooden panels, and elliptical forms emulate seeds and pods.
