Profile
Mark Haddon is an artist based in the Scottish Borders. Working across drawing, sculpture, painting and installation, he makes attentive, materially driven works from found objects, paper, wood and other materials. His practice brings together fragments, traces and evidence to create works that are at once poetic, playful and quietly unsettling.
Alongside his studio practice, Haddon is the founder and curator of https://no31.uk/, an independent contemporary art gallery in the Scottish Borders, where he presents a programme of exhibitions by emerging and established artists.
Mark 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.

About the work
I think, at a very fundamental level, I make art and curate exhibitions because I am looking for evidence of the existence of a continuum. A thread. Witnessing or recording a hare on the hill is much the same as finding a discarded letter on the pavement - a kind of tiny marvel. I would also say that I don’t seek to illustrate ideas - everything is uncertain, everything is unfinished. The process is a flow - thoughts connect where things are made, diverge and then connect again, and so on. The making is also the thinking.
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 2025
