Mark Cora-Mooroom Bungaree (b. 1964, Murwillumbah NSW, Australia) is a Minjungbal man from Tweed and southern Gold Coast. Cora seeks to develop his art pieces that represent his country which takes in the mountains, rainforests, the beach, and its shoreline. He is inspired by natural materials, their shapes and energy, igniting his imagination and that of the onlookers. We see shapes or materials in nature. Re seeing them transformed into art can remind us of how perfect the natural world is. Cora makes art about natural systems that occur in particular seasons to remind viewers of nature's workings and how our involvement with the environment contributes to the ongoing workings of these systems or the destruction of these systems.
