Description: An honoring of our verterans' return, this circa 1880 extremely rare Marklin wagon, carrying vintage WWI and WWII memorabilia, rests cantilevered above an iron stand. Underneath is a WWI marching band of toy soldiers on vintage sheet music of the song "America".  A vintage victory stamp sits beside them. Glitter surrounds the sculpture which rests on felt under an antique dome.

Artist Statement and Biography

After a career in advertising (formerly CEO of Cincinnati-based Northlich), Mark's love for great design, primitive antiques and unusual found objects all converged to form his creation of assemblages.

"Some works convey a message, some an outgrowth of a  personal story, some a flight of fantasy and others are simply compositions that just look and feel right.  Each one has been put through the torture test of long stares.   My work aims to give very special found objects a new life and context."

A collection of Serrianne assemblages were exhibited in February, 2017 at the juried national show of the American Craft Council in Baltimore, Maryland.
