'The tension between holding and letting go'
Mixed media sculpture
43in (109cm) h.8in (20cm) w.. 3in (8cm) d
Provenance: Braunstein/Quay Gallery. SF
Making art is how Michael makes sense of the world and his forgotten childhood. Observing his own anxieties and awkwardness, he creates visual narratives that examine loneliness, responsibility, and choice. In his work, the innocence and vulnerability of children and animals are constrained. The stories unfold in the space between memory and nostalgia, and focus on the tension between youth and maturity.
