MICHAEL HENDERSON<br />
Australia<br />

My name is Michael Henderson. I live with my beautiful wife and<br />
family in a gorgeous part of the world on the Northern Beaches of<br />
Sydney, Australia.<br />
I am a painter, a writer and an installation artist. My creative<br />
pursuits give me space to be a seeker, a learner, a dissident. I<br />
think I am by nature someone discontent with the status quo. I<br />
love to study our world and reveal something about it: things that<br />
inspire, trouble and challenge me.<br />
My work emphasises my meditation on the relationship between<br />
heaven and earth. I hope, without sounding to grand, to enable<br />
the viewer to see more than just a physical representation of our<br />
world, but to give them a glimpse of the divine qualities embedded<br />
in and through nature (Christian Bible, Romans 1.20).<br />
I am a huge fan of many creative people, but in particular artists<br />
Anselm Kiefer, Lloyd Rees, Mark Rothko, and writers Victor Hugo,<br />
Harper Lee and Markus Zusak.<br />
My favourite thing outside of art is to gaze at overgrown lawns.<br />
They make me smile. For me, they symbolise freedom in the<br />
middle of a world that would love to keep everything bound, beaten<br />
and under control.
