About
Michael Gard's sculptures are created using a wire weaving technique he invented as a teenager. Each figure begins as a block of clay and a spool of wire. The clay is sculpted, then reproduced in wax. Individual lengths of wire are woven and knotted stitch-by-stitch around the wax form. Finally the wax is melted away, leaving a rigid figure, both light and strong.
Since 2008 he has been incorporating LED lights into some of the work, and has used brightly colored enameled wires since 2011.
Michael was born in London in 1971 and moved to the US in 1994. He has maintained a full-time sculpture studio since 1995. He travels throughout the country and is available for private home consultations by appointment.
