In his work Michiel is looking for a strange phenonemon or hidden features of a place or object. By analysing a place or an object, manipulating it or placing it in a different context, I try to show people a new way of seeing and experiencing a quality that was veiled until then for the unsuspecting viewer. In the search for hidden features, I allow the work to originate from the material and the surroundings. During the process I discover which side I am led to,experimenting with the fusion of steel, copper and other metals I created a shelving construction.
