About Michael Weaker

Michael Weaker is an artist and designer who uses industrial process as brush, experimental materials as medium, and vernacular objects as canvas. Often endowing works with practical utility—Weaker relentlessly pursues the emotional effect of peace and balance, iterating until a work seems to draw the mind into a thoughtful place, off the track of the everyday. 

The works can be classified as functional sculpture where function may refer to the usefulness of an objet usuel—or to the power of the work to have spiritual effect.

Drawing on a background in engineering, materials, manufacturing, design, and fine art, Weaker's practice presents an elegant tension between the fabricated and natural worlds.
