The Twig Collection represents the textures of nature. By uniquely casting plant forms in metal, the Twig conjures a natural environment, yet one subtly sophisticated and redefined. Drawing from fundamental motifs in Michael's work, each piece transforms environmental studies into tactile objects for your everyday life - celebrating Nature, in both form and function.
"For me, the shapes conjure a sense of freshness and fragility. At the same time the textures represent a metaphor for life itself – growth, vitality, pulsation. Everybody has an emotional response when they see natural objects. They are part of all of us. What I enjoy about these pieces is that in a way they are 'slices' of nature, small vignettes of the forest. It is fascinating to imagine the outside world infiltrating my interior spaces, as if the room is being gently consumed by nature."

HANDMADE
Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings and often makes sculptures of objects that might otherwise be overlooked in the everyday. Nature is his biggest muse, as is the handmade process.
