THERE'S A STORY BEHIND EVERY CREATION

HARNESS
THE PASSION

Michael draws on the intrinsic beauty of nature as well as current environmental issues and sustainability as artistic inspiration for his works

My work focuses on simple botanical form, challenging traditional methods to transform ordinary materials into something eye catching whilst revealing an unexpected form in a previously unseen way. I want my creations to look like they could have lived or grown somewhere. Living with beautiful objects that pay tribute to the natural world reminds us to slow down and helps us reconnect with nature.

MATERIALS
Steel - Stone - Copper - Wood. I like the relationship to the past life of a material – of one hand placed upon another.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every piece is unique; no two pieces are ever the same. Always different, yet instantly recognisable.
COMMISSIONS
You have a vision. I will give it life. Our collaboration will be a thrilling experience, rich in conversation and creativity.
