David Mach (born 18 March 1956) is a Scottish sculptor and installation artist.
Life and work.
Mach was born in Methil, Fife.
His artistic style is based on flowing assemblages of mass-produced objects. Typically these include magazines,vicious teddy bears,newspapers, car tyres, match sticks and coat hangers. Many of his installations are temporary and constructed in public spaces.
One example of his early magazine pieces, "Adding Fuel to the Fire", was an installation
by plastic surgery so that she looks like MacLeod's deceased lover Tessa. While she recovers from the operation, he muses, "Do you know what true greatness is, Lisa ? Someone who is truly great celebrates in silence. He doesn't hold up his trophy to the world. (...) True greatness is completing a task that others have found impossible. (...) I am going to do something that many have tried and that none have ever achieved and that only a handful have lived to know about.
