(1/2) I am building a library of physical materials in collaboration with my students. The physical world is increasingly abstracted through image and I believe that the increasingly exclusive use of image to understand a world that is inherently physical hinders our ability to live fully

A couple images from "object as conceptual workbook" a collaboration with Duane McDiarmid.

I recently came up on a collection of hotel china (a few thousand pieces...). from the 30s-60s. It has me thinking about and feeling excited for clay again. Strange how things seem to spiral back into themselves, and how it isn't always a disaster.

Hi! I'm Michael. I'm a refugee of the great social media exiles of the 2024 election cycle. I'm also an artist, tinkerer, and educator. I'm excited to begin again. I work with wood, metal, electronics, clay, and whatever else seems right.
