MAKING
A deep love for the handmade process is at the
core of everything Michael makes. Fascinated
with the richness of the living crafts tradition
which he discovered on his first trip to Delhi,
Michael would hunt for craftsmen in the old city
by listening for the sound of metal being beaten
and by smelling for the aroma of baked molasses
which signals the sand casting process. The
artisans he encountered were making ordinary
objects such a buckets, shovels, and scissors, but
for Michael, their traditional techniques were
extraordinary. Michael spent hours observing
artisans as they made things the same way their
families had made them for centuries. Touched
by the talent and humility of these gifted artisans,
Michael set up home and workshop in India
where he has created his designs for over 25
years. Today, over 200 artisans work alongside
him in his workshop where the same creative
interaction of artist and artisan remains the
source of every object that Michael makes.
MOTIF
Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings
and often represents objects through his
sculpture that might otherwise be overlooked in
the everyday. Nature is his biggest muse, as is
the handmade process. His work combines the
imperfections inherent in the handmade process
with the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature
to create objects that reflect humanity. Many
of his pieces are ingrained with rich storylines,
inherent symbolism, and deep-rooted meaning.
Sometimes his work is simply an exploration and
celebration of the handmade process. Michael
does not design anything unless it has a genuine
personal connection to him symbolically or
through his life experiences.
