Sculptor: Michael Thacker
Brief Biography: I studied fine art sculpture at Loughborough University before going to to train as a stone mason in York. Following this I worked at Lincoln Cathedral for almost fifteen years as a mason and carver whilst still making and exhibiting my own work before moving into sculpture full time five years ago.
About My Work:
My work has developed from a wide range of influences. Architectural forms combined with more organically inspired pieces.
Contrasts of textured and polished surfaces along with the use of light accentuated by the use of gilding using gold or platinum leaf.
