Michael Stevenson

"Over almost three decades, Michael Stevenson's projects have lead one to the other, revealing that the singular story can only ever be told within the dynamics of a much broader context, and that the object functions as a pointer within this wider schema. Thereby, it is the encounter with the object in physical space that is the most critical aspect to the work, from which a confluence of narrated events unfolds. Employing strategies of replication, re-contruction, and the process of facsimile, Stevenson's objects become testament to the material qualities of history."--Foreword.
