CV

Mike Seymour's work comprises sculpture and installation often in reference to architecture, film and design. His work investigates temporal, spatial and social relationships to history and place with structures that manifest in response to contextual premises of craft, industrial and material processes. These projects offer the possibility of an open dialogue with the site, and a liberating of the assigned relationship between an object and its meaning.
