This work straddles the disciplines of drawing, sculpture, installation, set design and performance. It has been seen at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in collaboration with the film performance group silt on their All Pieces of a River Shore for the museum’s 2002 Bienniel. In 2005, the Lyon Opera Ballet commissioned a kinetic stage sculpture for a new production of Trisha Brown’s Set and Reset/Reset. That summer, Michael collaborated with a group of local artists at the Richmond Art Center to produce Ballybaba--a tribute to Irish Author Samuel Beckett’s novel Molloy. The recent exhibit, Transtructural, with Amanda Hughen was shown at Oakland’s Johansson Projects gallery. Michael has been awarded a Pollock-Krasner Artist Grant for 2007-2008.
