Michael is a retired carpenter with time to ponder what lies within driftwood and fallen trees. He sees marine animals within recycled timbers and is often inspired whilst free-diving along the coast. Whales, fish and pelicans often feature in Michael’s work, using as much of the natural texture and scars as possible. You can see Michael’s sculptures, Blackbutt Pelicans, at Mr Potato and hear Michael talk about his process and inspiration in the following short!
