MICHELLE READER  

Wildlife sculptures made from reclaimed materials

RECYCLED SCULPTURES OF WILDLIFE & NATURE


Michelle often takes her inspiration from the natural world, creating sculptures of birds, animals and insects using a wide range of waste materials.   These sculptures highlight man’s effect on the natural world in an age of mass consumption.  


Materials are chosen for their shape, colour and texture.  Venetian blinds or coffee cups become feathers, a gas mask becomes the face of a bee, and deconstructed remote controls form the spots of a jaguar.
