Mark Jenkins is in many ways a pioneer of 'Street' sculpture. Using the unusual medium of packing tape, he has created satirical installations around the world that challenge our perception of Urban Art. He strives to show through his skilful praxis and techniques how far Urban Art overlaps with its gallery based counterparts. A number of his more challenging creations have been featured in several international magazines and academic texts.
