	David Mach
		David Mach was born in Scotland in 1956.
		Mach's "drawings" are made up of Toronto postcards which have been piled on top of one another like a three-dimensional photomontage, there is a lovely trompe l'oeil effect with some postcards of Casa Loma - from a distance, a hand looks like it has created Niagara Falls, or ripped a hole in the earth.
		While Mach may be involved in a political critique of the grotesque waste of industrialised nations, he does so with such imaginative pleasure that he turns the world into a playground.

	David Mach
		David Mach was born in Methil, Fife and studied at Duncan Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and at the Royal College of Art, London.
		Mach specialises in using everyday mass-produced material to produce often large-scale installations : life-size steam trains made from bricks, nuclear submarines from tyres, giant classical pillars from newspapers.
		Mach's monumental works are regularly exhibited around the world and their wry humour, social comment and sheer accessibility have won him both critical and popular acclaim.

	McMaster University
		Generally, Mach reacts to the concept of site in ways that combine his own interests as an artist with the physical, geographical and cultural life unique to location.
		Mach's decision to use this painting as a major element of the commission is entirely appropriate as it is one of the most travelled works in the collection and one that consistently provokes a response from a breadth of visitors.
		The odd juxtaposition of materials and subject matter is typical of Mach's approach in that the artist often exploits everyday, mass produced materials to create large scale works which comment on the definition of art and the commodification of culture in ways that are revealing, irreverent and always humorous.
