Profile

I studied at Camberwell School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, The Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and Skowhegan School of Art in Maine. I grew up in the Scottish Borders and now live with my family in Edinburgh by the seaside. I make a living as a designer and some of this work can be seen here.

In 2018 I opened an occasional non-profit gallery called Gallery 5595 in Edinburgh which Covid then brought to a close. Then in 2022 we moved to the Scottish Borders and two years later opened a new gallery called No31 (https://no31.uk/ and @no31studio).

If you’re interested in any of the work shown here or just want to have a chat, I can be contacted by email here and on Instagram @markhaddon_artist

About the work


Mark Haddon makes work in a variety of media, these days mostly wood, pigment and ink. His making process is a kind of unstructured or even accidental research and the work seems often to be arrived at through walking. Research is not directed by practical objectives, rather there is an open-ended approach: the artwork connects and then goes in a separate direction and then connects again, etc.  Much, or all of the current work explores loss and boundary.

His art practice has its roots in installation and his use of media is, as result, fluid. There is a freedom in both practice and form.

It should go without saying that all the artwork contained in this site is copyright to mark haddon, but I’ll say it anyway: all the artwork contained in this website is copyright to mark haddon 2022
