Michael
Corbet earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 1988 at
the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. In 1998 he completed
the Independent Wood Study Program at the Oregon College of Art
and Craft, Portland Oregon (a full-time 2-year program focusing
on Woodworking and Metalsmithing techniques).
As
an artist, Mike carries a personal responsibility to act for meaningful
change. Blatantly or in subtle ways his work has a goal of moving
people toward the positive, on many different levels. To accomplish
this, it is necessary to distill an image or concept to remove
all extraneous information until just the essence of the concept
remains. In this manner he seeks the most direct and universal
path to the hearts of those who experience his work.
Mike
has, and continues to work in many formats. By combining these
he increases the potential power of his artwork and reflects the
myriad levels of understanding inherent to virtually any subject,
concept, or debate. Popular American culture and everyday things-taken-for-granted
provide the source material with which he seeks to reflect and
change assumptions and therefore the very nature of our existence. |
