I treat this entity, movement as a subject, observing it, creating it. With the objects available to me I mimic certain processes, thought associations, logical deduction, absurd and chaotic situations as well as the natural movements of the elements and the unrelenting rhythms of time.\u201d Margaret Michel<\/p>\n http:\/\/margaret-michel.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Artwork of the month \/ April 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
