The Hydrangea Collection is inspired by Michael's love of the flower and also its symbolic meaning. Each spring and summer, Michael eagerly anticipates the greening of these plants and the subsequent explosion of their colorful blooms. Perennially beautiful, the flowers are symbolic of abundance and gratitude. True to the artist's work, each hand-sculpted piece captures the perfectly-imperfect nuances of nature while celebrating artisanal craft traditions. "For me, there is something dream-like about these flowers, as though I could swim through their abundant color. I love the contrast between the thick hearty stems, pruned and clipped year after year, and the delicate ephemeral petals that adorn them."
