It is with a broken heart I share that Flack Studio’s, Mark Anthony Robinson left our earth on Thursday 22nd December 2022. His legacy and spirit will remain forever. Mark created opportunities for people to share our studio and be part of our world at Flack Studio. All of this will continue. He will be there in spirit. I admired Mark’s passion for activism and his commitment to creating a legacy. He was devoted to challenging the status quo and to giving back. Since the studio’s beginning in early 2015 we created endlessly. It didn’t matter what we were designing, to create with him, was a joy. He inspired and drove me. Our shared creativity was infinite. Together with our beautiful team and collaborators, past and present we made spaces of permanence. Memories and stories were created. I will hold them tight. He will remain a part of each of the spaces we created. Mark has touched so many lives. He gave his heart to the Cubbies community in Fitzroy. He was the driving force behind opening our studio library the last Saturday of every month for people to share our world and talk about books. He supported the creation of our Rhonda Alexander Mentorship Program for people who could not get a foot in the door. He hosted our Plinth Drinks featuring local artists and makers each month in our studio. Mark was a fierce and devoted member of the Design Institute of Australia practice group, allowing conversation and inspiration for fellow members to think beyond design. He shone the brightest light on the underdog. I will honour him for years to come. His legacy will be a part of me and the studio forever. He will live on brightly. The projects he helped create shall be an ode to him. Details of public memorial on 12 January will be announced in the coming days. Mark, may you rest in peace. With all my love, I will miss you forever. David Flack.
