ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The focal material in this piece is the leather straps that came from an old leather jacket of mine that I got in West Germany in the '83 while I was in the US AirForce. I can't help but to remember my travels and adventures at Piccadilly Circus and the 1980's London punk scene when I had time off from the base. The jacket is no longer wearable but I couldn't find it in me to discard it, blame it on sentimentality. Since finding the beauty in the discarded material is the drive behind my current work I was inspired to create this small piece. This work has a wire installed on the back to make hanging easy. A perfect piece for any home.

Michael Peterson
United States
“Found Objects Find Me” is the foundation of abstract multi-disciplinary artist Michael Peterson. Born and raised in Eau Claire, WI he is a true townie and US Air Force Veteran. Through Peterson's time in the service he was exposed to the European Masters and contemporary art greats while stationed in West Germany, which took him on a winding life-long journey of finding trash and making art. Peterson studied at UW-EC after his service in the 80’s but dropped out when the classes turned from art to the gen eds. He has mentored under Tiit Reed, Janet Carson, and CV Peterson. He has exhibited locally at Wisconsin Arts West, 200 Main Gallery, Pablo Center at the Confluence, and the Heyde Center for the Arts. Peterson has also exhibited nationally at Kelwood Contemporary Art, University of Alaska - Anchorage, Kent State University, and more. He has outlasted many of the galleries and clubs he has exhibited with but is always down for a beer and good art conversation. He finds beauty in the rough and that includes life.
