Whether as a response to landscape or in terms of using abstract means to convey the ebb and flow of organic processes and our place in the world in relation to them, all of my work is intended to convey something of our complex relationship to nature, as it exists today. Since that relationship is ever-changing, the use of a language of creative means that moves between accident and control seems to me to replicate the relationship best, in both process and product. I am always hopeful that viewers will find some point of contact in what I do that will replicate this relationship to nature for themselves.Michael graduated from the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University) in 1984, and holds a Doctorate of Education from the University of Toronto.
