Sculptures in Public Collections / Recent Commissions / Newly Available

I have been commissioned to create three large sculptures for a local development in Chapel Hill, NC.

The first of these, Breathe, is completed and pictured above. The building project is just getting started

so the actual installation date is still a good ways in the future - likely sometime in 2024. Which is a good thing,

because I still have two more to fabricate.

The making of Whirled of Nature (pictured left and up first in the production schedule), and Whirled of Imagination

will consume much of the coming year. Progress posts will be periodically published on the Making Sculpture page

of this web site. Follow along and see how these pieces come together as 2023 unfolds.

Soirée with Sandy series

This series was created just after finishing Breathe, the first of the commisssions above, when I had a bit over a month to

find a creative rabbit hole to go down in preparation for the 2022 Open Studio Tour. Inspired by Calder, but with every intention

of finding something to call my own, I had a lot of fun playing this way. And it was very satisfying to see that same sense of fun

light up the faces of those who came to the tour.

while that show is now over, this sculpture will continue to grace the entry for the garden until next year's show.

This past year or two has been an eventful time for all of us, and for me a surprisingly busy and productive time.

I have much work to do to catch up this web site with the many pieces that have found life in the studio during this time,

many of which flew out of here without ever having been recorded. I often find it easy to procrastinate computer work -

studio time is precious. But I will endeavor to do better. Happy New Year -

Mike
