Working in sculpture and installation, Michael Riddle allows chance and accident to have a place in examining how slippages, interruptions and changes of state can act as a site for exploration as the work develops. Using ideas around entropy, function and emotion as drivers and metaphorical vehicles, he sees the objects that he produces as identifying markers purposefully deposited along an often confusing path between his physical self and a complex and sometimes oscillating world of emotions. Michael is beginning his MFA at QUT and is currently represented in Queensland by Jan Manton Art.
