Artists > Michele Greene
I live and work from my home in Buckinghamshire. I use a wide range of media including clay, wire, cement, resin and bronze. I also enjoy incorporating found and recycled objects into my pieces. Clay remains my favourite medium - I love its malleability and the close relationship that I have in modelling the sculpture so that literally hundreds of my finger prints become part of the finished work.
My themes are mostly human figures and my interest lies in the life and emotions of my subjects. The stillness of the sculpture combines with a suggestion of body language and movement which I hope conveys to the audience. I like storytelling in my pieces and there is often a narrative element to the work. The viewer sees a snapshot of a situation and is left to imagine the rest. I am interested always in the human condition which I
explore through my sculptures of faces and figures.
I also love the natural world which leads me to the depiction of animals and birds. With my models of wildlife I am able to capture the essence of the subject caught in a moment of time, which is often the way that we glimpse them when we see them in their natural habitat.
I am a member of Oxford Sculptors, Bicester Sculpture Group and the Bucks Art Society with whom I exhibit.
