Michael is a Brooklyn-based collage artist and graphic designer.

— My Process

My collage work is a search for connections between shapes, textures, colors, found ephemera, photographs, acrylic prints, scans, patterns, words, and glyphs, which feels like “visual neuroplasticity" to me. (Neuroplasticity: The ability of the brain to change in structure or function in response to experiences). These unexpected connections between layered elements, whether adjacent, overlapping, or separated, create a lyrical, expressive, subtle, and often ineffable energy lead me to move things around—a kind of rewiring or expansion. Not all connections carry enough energy, which causes them to end while others keep going and branch out into new directions. There is no end to making collages.
