Hi, can you tell me anything about David Mach? I heard he was some kind of artist.
Yep he is a sculptor from scotland.
Interesting, what kind of sculptures does he do?
He uses mass produced objects to create works based on a flowing assemblage style.
Ohh I see. Do you know where I may be able to see one of these sculptures?
I do, you can see them in public spaces.  Many are temporary in nature.
I guess I will have to try to visit some time. The pieces sound very interesting. I like how they are in public for everyone to enjoy.
Cool.  He uses things like coat hangers, match sticks, car tyres, newspapers and teddy bears in his work!
That sounds really cool. Using everyday items to build art intrigues me. Who were his contemporaries?

Response: Some of David Mach's peers during his prime years were Tony Cragg and Anish Kapoor.
