Michael is a textiles artist who techniques include, embroidery, pattern, lace and recently floral imagery.He first came to my attention when a tutor suggested I look at his work. Upon doing this I have found that the similarities between our work are we both use layers of mixed media to create 3D and textural pieces.
I also get the impression that he also likes to involve the viewer in his work by giving his pieces audience interaction qualities. This is a vital part of my FMP as I was the audience to interact with my final pieces which will hopefully result in unique style of viewing art as a leisure activity.
I could use the pieces pictured below as inspiration for my work by using the idea of layering stitched and embroidery pieces on top of one and other leaving windows to give the piece as a whole more depth and leading the viewers eyes deeper into the piece.
