The Sculptures

Michael Anderson works primarily in steel. Despite the weight of the material his work maintains a strong and notable fluidity.

His work is unique and industrial yet delicate and graceful. He turns steel into gravity defying pieces. Stunning forms of illusionary ribbons of steel. He is a master of his craft.

His process begins with a model, usually only a foot or two high. If he is satisfied with the model he sets out to create the work at its intended size. The finished pieces are usually between 6' and 30' on their longest side.
