The Affinity resin blocks look to capture the memories of the tree using physical parts of the oak tree, creating representations of the landscape the tree sat in.
The process involves making a tray and slowly building layers of resin, like strata, then carefully depositing different materials and elements in each. With each layer Mark seals in a memory, or physical artifact gathered from the landscape or tree.
The Affinity pieces use acrylic painting, gold leaf, copper leaf, tin leaf, inkjet transfer and charcoal made from the oak tree.
