Michael Kusz
Michael Kusz is a Yorkshire based sculptor creating unique works from recycled materials. A maker all his life, he grew up within the industrial history of South Wales. Copper is the predominant material Michael works with. “A fantastic metal – versatile in the extreme. Stretch it, shrink it, cast it, electro-plate it, hammer it, punch it, it’ll do anything you ask of it”. It also allows the piece to be built to last, taking up to 90 years to turn from copper to verdigris green.
When beginning a piece, Michael immerses himself in the subjec. He intensively researches to really get a feel for its nature and how it will transcribe into metal. He creates working templates that when transformed to copper expresses the desired aesthetics.
