Sutter Street in San Francisco. Michelle’s sculpture has been described as lyrical, graceful
and spiritual.
Artist’s Statement
Sculpture is a tributary that runs deeply through the great creative current. The Process of sculpture in clay, with its slow beginning, heavy physicality, and transformations through both water and fire, compels me.
To practice this art form is to be deeply humbled by its treasures, exquisite and remarkable. This long conversation between artist and material takes many courses: a wandering dialogue. Through the vehicle of the Figure, my intention is to articulate something of the precious source that animates us. My usual subjects are travelers, protectors, sentinels and guardians. The transient state of our existence is the muse.
