Read MoreMark McKnight for This Long Century
“The smell of the bones was unimaginable. I moved them from place to place: at first to my partners home and later my parents. These people love me, and in turn, I love these decaying objects to whom I feel similarly beholden. In the process, the bones accrued more psychic baggage and subsequently more meaning. The whole thing felt like a strange dream. I, who spent most of the pandemic without a home, found myself dragging these bones from place to place trying to find one for them.”

Read MoreMOUSSE Magazine: Captured and Released, Andrew Berardini on Mark McKnight
“The seen and the unseen rub together with such potent friction that the smooth sheen of the photograph’s surface becomes a pool of water for a submerged world of intense contrasts more real than the one we see it from.”
Read MoreLos Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight reviews Mark McKnight: Hunger for the Absolute at Park View / Paul Soto
“McKnight deftly harnesses standard metaphors — the tree as home to the spirit, sanctuary of the soul; the landscape as an unsullied Eden set against a fraught humanity — and turns them to his own ends… the frankly symbolic, formally attuned, ethereally abstract and potently political all merge in a suite of eight highly engaging photographs."

“It's in this etherous affect of violence, of horror - removed from a strict concept of corpse - that both you and the algorithm respond to a tree. Not so different after all, husks of the dead, apophenic machines. There's more content to that Bernini-like grasping of flesh than the new church would allow.”
Read MoreContemporary Art Review LA: Snap Review, Mark McKnight at Park View / Paul Soto
“The photographs delight in a visual investigation of the animal-sculptural qualities of the body without monumentalizing or rendering it an object… McKnight’s dense picture-making process a vulnerable, responsive, and revelatory approach to the figure-in-landscape.”
