The Vine Collection takes its inspiration from the imagery that floats around classic storytelling. The shapes are obvious and immediate and, at the same time, impressionistic and lyrical - the way a small child might imagine the scenes in a story he’s being told.
Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings and often makes sculptures of objects that might otherwise be overlooked in the everyday. Nature is his biggest muse, as is the handmade process.
“These vines conjure up images of the overgrown entrance to an enchanted forest. The window to a world of fantasy flora and unexpected beauty.” ~ M.
