Doing Time

Original Mixed-Media Collage by Chef Mark Heaton

Time is everywhere. Time is inescapable. And Chef Mark Heaton makes sure you feel every second of it.

Doing Time is a densely layered mixed-media collage — a wall-to-wall explosion of watches, timepieces, and dials sourced and assembled by hand, then drawn over in graphite pencil and punctuated with bold blue acrylic lettering that spells out the title across the composition. A ghostly white figure emerges from the center, half-submerged in the sea of ticking faces, as if time itself is consuming them.

The piece is at once playful and haunting — a meditation on obsession, luxury, and the relentless march of the clock. It's the kind of work that rewards a long look.

About the Price
