Established in West Palm Beach since 1986, Mark Fuller provides professional design, fabrication, and production services. Primarily oriented towards designing identity elements to create a sense of place, Fuller's experience includes urban street furniture such as seating elements, bollards, lighting fixtures, tree grates, telephone kiosks, and graphic images on sound barriers along Interstate 95. His Art In Public Places installations have included kinetic constructions, compression - tension cable structures, and static free - standing elements. His works have been referenced by a spokesperson for the National Endowment For The Arts as "a good example of what public art should be ". Experience with and accessability to high -tech fabrication methods and finishing technology allow him to effectively determine appropriate production methods to accommodate budget, schedule, and function requirements. His projects often incorporate diverse fabrication methods utilizing polymer -based mouldings, cast stone fabrications, specialized epoxy - polyester hybrid coatings, and aero-space quality precision metal fabrications. Immediate access to state- of- the-art industrial lasers, CNC computerized machining, and large format image reproduction has enhanced MTFullel's ability to streamlining the process from concept to reality. Fluent in digital technology, MTFuller utilizes an array of powerful Macintosh and PowerComputing platforms for pre - production 3D modeling and imaging. Expertise in programs such as PhotoShop, Raydream, Lightwave, and POV -Ray / Persistance of Vision enables photo - realistic monitoring of designs from conceptual design throughout the final design phases.
