Michael’s narratives lie somewhere between the real and the surreal. His works are centered on the philosophical notions of choice and the absence of decision, and how they affect the self and define and create the surrounding environments. “Life is a construct of both choice and the absence of decision.

However, one can attempt to impose a new structure and ultimately a redefinition of the construct by the same action that produced the stasis – choice.”

I love to create new and weird concepts because the visual language of art can communicate visceral ideas beyond the ability of words! Possibilities are endless!

I am an Exeter based sculptor. I work with cardboard for its immediacy, ease of availability and low environmental impact. My disability and dyslexia have also influenced my choice of material and the way I create my sculptures. For over twenty years I have created life-size three-dimensional portraits of people. I have also made animals, anatomical models, furniture, and other large-scale work for commission. I believe in art for all, art beyond race, gender, age, ability, and disability. My work has appeared in the world-renowned Lucca Biennale and in local primary schools, as well as arts centres and exhibition spaces locally and nationally.
