Artist focus: Michelle mckinney
For the month of August, we are focusing on British artist, Michelle McKinney. Originally born in Leicestershire, she achieved a First Class BA (Hons) in Silversmithing and Jewellery Design at the University of Central England.
Michelle creates elegantly simple artworks in ultra-fine woven metal. The beautiful translucent quality of the material brings an ethereal quality to each piece. Every element of her work is hand cut, formed and coloured using only heat, forging a personal connection between the artist and the viewer. While at first the viewer is drawn to the balance of the overall composition of her artworks they are then drawn into the detail and beauty of each individual element.
