Ready for Action is a series of digital images that document the artist’s performative actions. Pursuing the theme of protection, Mark Newport has constructed a group of hand-knit superhero costumes modeled after sweaters his mother made him as a child. For the culmination of Ready for Action, Newport photographs himself wearing these costumes and engaging in various character poses and performances, then digitally altering the photos to include elements of comic book art, such as thought balloons, narration, and action.
