Early life and education
Mack was born in Columbia, Maryland. His middle name is National, after Washington DC's National Gallery of Art—where his parents met.[5] At an early age, Mack worked for his father at his discount clothing store interacting with a spectrum of fashions and fabrics.[6] Mack's fabric collages often include a spectrum of materials such as moving blankets, bandanas, and other found or locally sourced fabrics.[3]
Mack received his BFA from The Cooper Union in 2010 and his MFA from Yale in 2012. In a 2019 interview with Mahfuz Sultan for PIN-UP Magazine, he is quoted stating that he made most of his work outside while at Yale.[7]
