Michael writes about his ideas and process:  “As with most other artists, I am seeking a broader public validation of my artistic view.  Most of my work is about Edges, Frames, & Filters.  Frames, because the act of recording something, music, painting, a script, are all methods of "framing" an idea.  Edges, because all of the edges are artificially imposed by man, the painting edge along with the field edge, house edge, the edge of the automobile window, etc. and Filters, from both a communication perspective and because I have the beginnings of cataracts which make things seem bluer to me than they really are.  [I work primarily in] landscape with many edges and frames and me as the first filter, and the viewer as the second.”g hjghjghjghjghjghjghjghjhjghjghjhjghjhghjghjghjgghjghjghjghgh
