About the Artist:
Joseph Michael’s large-scale installations bring remote areas of the world to the core of urban centres, thus challenging a human centred worldview, by collapsing the space and time relationship between humans and the natural world. His works are internationally recognised, most recently having exhibited Voices For The Future on the United Nations Headquarters in New York City during the 2019 UNGA and Climate Action Summit.
