About The Artwork
I’m always looking for a flat surface to be the foundation for my creative magic. That day was no exception. I was pursuing through the aisles at my local thrift shop and I spied it. It was a small wooden cutting board that had seen better days. It seemed to say “take me home, make me new again!.” I still feel like it was one of the best finds I’ve had! So back to my studio I went with this gem of a future artistic endeavor. After I attached wire on the back I hung it up and stared at it with a cold barley pop in my hand. I felt the urge to challenge myself by exploring, and experimenting with how many types of textures I could create on this small surface. With my collection of found texture material I started. Cardboard, leather, denim, rubber-bands, belt buckle, purse strap, bib overalls, nails, twine – the work seemed to build itself.

“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.
