Michael Ferris
My work focuses on simple botanical form, challenging traditional methods to transform ordinary materials into something eye catching whilst revealing an unexpected form in a previously unseen way.
I want my creations to look like they could have lived or grown somewhere.
Living with beautiful objects that pay tribute to the natural world reminds us to slow down and helps us reconnect with nature.
