ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The title of this work stems from the ex-President’s mantra of isolationism, destruction, division, and banning the “Others” from our shores. (They are human beings). Years of living through what can only be described as unwavering lies and hate I had enough. I can’t do much. But I refused to be silent. I had to create. After hunting through my local GoodWill I found an old canvas that I took back to work my magic on. Layering together the usual suspects: ripped up cardboard, a handful of torn grocery bags, a cut up leather belt, wrapped twine, etc. I felt I was on my way to the results I wanted. Seeing it come alive after previously being a bare surface is always a rewarding feeling. Not knowing what I will do at the beginning has always been my process. You can’t ban creative expression, and humans should never be banned from growing and improving.

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.
