Market by Mark du Potiers, is a colourful range of Australian food items, with each piece hand-made in plush and paper… How many of these are familiar to you?

Market is an ongoing project celebrating Australia’s culinary diversity, drawing inspiration from the artist’s upbringing, and incorporates almost 100 items (and counting) of a variety of foods available in our country. 

In pursuit of acceptance, many people come to be ashamed of their history and culture from a young age. Market is a visual reminder that there are many ways to be Australian and there are also many ways to belong.

Mark du Potiers is a sculptor born, raised, and based in Magandjin (Brisbane). He has Australian, Hong Konger, and Chinese migrant heritage, and happens to be queer. With his lived experience of dancing between multiple cultures, Mark is interested in how images, ideas, and meanings are interpreted across different cultural contexts.
