Michael's paperweights evoke a tapestry of living organisms from an ocean reef, maybe from another time and place. He works to abstract the colors and rhythms of aquatic life. The imagery is very up close with minute details being magnified by a clear glass encasement. The technique used is called murrini. These paperweights are full of unique things and places. They can be cleaned using a warm damp cloth. They should be left in sunlight to be truly appreciated.
Imagine how much life is contained in a single drop of water. Inside our OCEAN TEARDROP Michael has created life...perhaps from the ocean...perhaps not. Large 3" x 6" $225.00 Medium 2" x 4" $125.00 click on image for a larger view. close image to return to the gallery.
