The Way Home II – Assemblages by Michael Wilson

Michael Wilson

By isolating and simplifying objects and their environments, an elemental nature can be revealed that exists in all things, real and imagined. This is the thread connect us all. Through the particular, the universe can be obtained. The power of art is the power of transcendence from beauty and the particular into the sublime and the universe and back again.

I hope that, in some way, the results of my work join the tradition of work that has provided a portal to those questions whose answers help us define and clarify our existence, our experience, and our purpose here on earth

Michael Wilson

Michael grew up the son of a famous animator in a creative environment. Taking art classes from professors of Art Center he carried the baton forward on a never-ending art project that allows creative ideas to flourish. Collecting from junk stores and buying antiques to deconstruct, he finds inspiration in these old objects by giving them a new life in the form of art assemblage.
