Artist statement

Michael Richard Thron (born 1990) in Stamford CT, he is a MFA Graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park and received his BFA from Syracuse University. His practice investigates materiality, entropy, and negative space as a material and tangible component. Through gathering, manipulation, and replication his work acts as a conduit to examine the evolution of the self, exploring how a sculpture can exist “in” space or “as” space. It sometimes acts as reminder of personal identity, memory, the human condition.
