Artist: Michael
Medium: Hay sculpture
Location: Union Square near 14th street and University Ave subway entrance
Michael is from the south of Poland and describes his art as a sort of new local tradition. The sculptures Michael makes are all made from hay which is worked into and around a wire mesh body. Smaller, constituent pieces of the hay animals are made separately and attached to the body with glue. Michael does what he can to keep the sculptures close to nature, however, and notes that he makes the animal’s noses out of black beans.
Michael says that he picked up hey sculpting just by being around it. When he came to the United States to study, he started making them for fun and for a little pocket money. Each item sells for between $7 and $20 depending on the size.
