About Mr Marc Edwards

Marc Edwards graduated with a Master of Arts in Fine Arts from the University of the Witwatersrand (2010), National Higher Diploma in Sculpture (1982) and a National Diploma in Fine Arts (1980) from Tshwane University of Technology. He currently lives and works in Johannesburg where he has been a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture for four decades. Edwards is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice works across multiple media including drawing, sculpture, photography and video. His work considers decolonial modes of making and thinking, exploring themes of nature in visual culture, the artist as conduit, de-centering the subject, assemblage and object orientated ontology in a landscape of the world today.
