🍍 The big kahuna! 🍍 The major project for my scholarship with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation was published today, Fri 5 Dec! It's part of ABC's coverage for International Day of People with Disability @idpwd_au - which was Wed 3 Dec. Here, I've created a web comic about invisible disability. It's taken weeks to build with a whole lot of colourful paper and card, and a large supply of sticky tape! 👈🏽 Swipe for more info about this project 👉🏽 Link to the ABC News article in my bio on Insta, and in the comments on Facebook. 🌺 #markdupotiers #brisbaneartist #idpwd #idpwd2025 - #abcbrisbane #abcnewsqld #adhd #attentiondeficithyperactivitydisorder #internationaldayofpeoplewithdisability #abcperth

Today [Oct 16], the ABC [Australian Broadcasting Corporation] has published the article I've been working on. Having wrestled with this beast all year, interviewing, writing, and drawing... it's a relief to finally share it with you!

So this happened... Everybody say hi to this silly sausage, "Lunch". Lunch, try not to lick them all (at once). 🥪

Carol c.2007 • 14.10.2017 - 16.09.2025 Yesterday, we had no choice but to put Carol to sleep. I knew it was coming at some point - he was a few weeks shy of being eighteen (ninety as the human equivalent), after all. But everything happened so quickly, and I'm in shock. I'm numb. I'm devastated. And the tears won't/don't stop. We adopted Carol in 2017 as a rescue, and we had the best eight years with him. He loved all people and being near them. He was Dad's comfort and soulmate. And he was my study buddy and Papa's best friend. He enjoyed watching Dad in the shower or playing piano for him, catching up on memes with us, eating bits of banana ends, going for walkies in the front yard, and sunbathing on the windowsill or balcony. His most favourite things were shoelaces, stealing your seat, cuddling under the doona, and smooching up to old men. And his appetite never wavered - he loved to eat right until the very end. Can you ever be fully ready for Loss? Life is long and sadly contains much of It. Once again, I feel unprepared in my meetings with the beast of Grief. This Hydra, this multi-headed monster, will be challenging to fight off in the minutes, hours, days, and weeks ahead - yet battles that are a privilege to fight. Parting is such sweet sorrow: it hurts so much, simply because you've loved so much. And that, I hope, will make it slightly less painful. Rest in peace, Carol, our sweet fluffy himmie. You're so sorely missed. @carollovesyouxo

‘Market’ is a colourful range of Australian food items. Each piece in this ongoing project is hand-made in plush and paper, incorporating almost 100 objects (and counting) of a variety of foods available in our country. ‘Market’ celebrates Australia’s culinary diversity and draws inspiration from the artist’s upbringing – including local foodstuffs with origins deriving from Cantonese cuisine. Something as mundane and commonplace as the food we eat carries immense cultural value. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the very things that marks you as an Other – especially if you’re already in the minority. In pursuit of acceptance, many people come to be ashamed of their history and culture from a young age. With time, one comes to appreciate the importance and power of what was once seemingly everyday and inconsequential. ‘Market’ is a visual reminder that there are many ways to be Australian and there are also many ways to belong. Market, 2019, Recycled-material sculptures: textiles, paper, card, sponge, foil, plastics, acrylic, miscellany. Dimensions variable. Created by @blisteredhand / Photograph by Timothy Fairless. Mark du Potiers is a sculptor born, raised, and based in Magandjin (Brisbane). He has Australian, Hong Konger, and Chinese migrant heritage, and happens to be queer. With his lived experience of dancing between multiple cultures, Mark is interested in how images, ideas, and meanings are interpreted across different cultural contexts.
