Hi
My name is Mark McKeown. I am an artist living in the small town of Antrim, Northern Ireland.
I have spent the past six years studying Art and Photography at Belfast Institute Of Further And Higher Education.
During this time, I had two short videos broadcast on NVTV in Belfast.
Here is my first online video:

I hope you find something to enjoy in it.
I can only tell you that it came from a deep intuitive place within me and is, in retrospect, I feel an attempt to unite the opposing stands of cryptic personal symbols and a wider shared pool of mythic imagery; a schism that Joseph Campbell identifies in Hero With A Thousand Faces.
It's great to find this place and I welcome any feedback.
Goodluck
-Mark

Thanks, Mark!
You seem to use very different techniques in the short (film, image manipulation, drawing, scratching...). But I can't find a aesthethic or unifying theme in it (I find it a bit chaotic). Maybe because I haven't read Campbell, or those symbols are too personal :)
Hi Marcos
I think it is incredibly cryptic and personal. I've been trying to move into a more general, readily comprehensible aesthetic with my latter work and reading Campbell is helping me move in that direction. This piece really is a patchwork of material from an archive spanning about ten years.
Thank you for your reply and good luck.

Looking forward to see more of your works here!
Cheers!
