Michael Eden's Page

The work of Michael Eden sits at the intersection of art, design and craft, exploring contemporary themes through the redesign of historical, culturally familiar objects utilising digital manufacturing and materials.

Through this he investigates the relationship between hand and digital tools.  He is particularly interested in how the tacit knowledge and sensibility to the 3 dimensional object, developed through extended practice can affect and influence the approach to the creation of objects using digital technology.

As a member of a unique generation that has bridged the digital divide, he firmly believes that he is able to contrast and compare life before and after the invention of the personal computer. For Eden it is a matter of choice, as life at the beginning of the 21^st century has furnished makers with a wider choice of tools, materials and processes with which to realise ideas and concepts. All have their place, the new does not replace the old; the key is to make appropriate use of them.

Having attracted wide media and public attention, the work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by a number of international Art Galleries and collectors.
