Divergence II
Stainless steel, 2007
20 x 60 x 20cm
Originally from Horsham in western regional Victoria, Michael has lived
and worked in Melbourne for over ten years. He recently returned to
sculpture after a three-year break during which he undertook
postgraduate studies at RMIT University. His works have been featured
in outdoor sculpture exhibitions including the Moreland Sculpture Show
in 2004 and 2007. In recent times he has focused on making smaller
scale, indoor works - this reflects both his own sculptural explorations
and the logistics of creating new work while living in the inner city.
Michael is an active member of the Contemporary Sculptors Association
serving on the Committee of Management between 1997-2000
and is currently developing a new website for the organization.
‘Divergence II’ is a
metaphor, in three
dimensions, of the
dynamic pathways
followed by life, ideas and
culture over time. There
are peaks and troughs but
always constant, rhythmic,
movement. Sometimes
divergence occurs, a new
pathway is formed, and
things take off in a new
direction. Life has always
been like this.
