Michael Condron

Born 1972, Rochford, UK.

My first major public art installation, 'The Martian' is sited in Woking town centre. Subsequent sites for public commissions have been Chelmsford, Bracknell, Colchester, Basildon and the Birmingham NEC. Through this work, I am often involved with community art projects and workshops.

The focus of my public art practice is to create landmark site specific sculpture. My artworks are immediately accessible to the public, working as a prominent feature from a distance, and containing layers of detail that may be discovered on subsequent viewings.
