It was a typical Wednesday morning that began with taking out the recycling. All I had for my curbside bin was a small empty FedEx box. After I tossed it in I glanced back at this one lonely box when I had an epiphany. Why couldn’t this FedEx box be art? Like clockwork the unmistakable squeaky slow lumbering sound of the garbage truck interrupted my musing. Glaring down the street I retrieved the box as it approached. I muttered, “Not today…” as I turned back to my studio. I was unsure of what my creative inspiration would spawn but I was up for the challenge. After adding unrelated items for texture: denim, a belt, pieces of a jacket, leather, duct tape, paint, carpet tacks, an abandoned knife sheath, and more, this little FedEx box became a work of art. The uncertainty of what and how I create is my own form of bliss. Not knowing becomes known.

“Found Objects Find Me” is the foundation of abstract multi-disciplinary artist Michael Peterson. Born and raised in Eau Claire, WI he is a true townie and US Air Force Veteran. Through Peterson's time in the service he was exposed to the European Masters and contemporary art greats while stationed in West Germany, which took him on a winding life-long journey of finding trash and making art. Peterson studied at UW-EC after his service in the 80’s but dropped out when the classes turned from art to the gen eds. He has mentored under Tiit Reed, Janet Carson, and CV Peterson. He has exhibited locally at Wisconsin Arts West, 200 Main Gallery, Pablo Center at the Confluence, and the Heyde Center for the Arts. Peterson has also exhibited nationally at Kelwood Contemporary Art, University of Alaska - Anchorage, Kent State University, and more. He has outlasted many of the galleries and clubs he has exhibited with but is always down for a beer and good art conversation. He finds beauty in the rough and that includes life.
