Polly Ullrich Review Continued

Taking on the name Agitha Demark, for example, not only lends a feminine cast to the artist's identity, but "de-mark" also refers pointedly to "the mark" of the artist's hand.

Warnick radically redefines and expands the definition of markmaking, and in the process aligns his own brand of conceptualism with the rich history of visual art.
