From the Groot Foundation: “Since 1988, the Virginia A. Groot Foundation has advocated for artists working within the sculptural space to encourage expansive creativity in all three-dimensional art forms.”
“Michael Ferris, our second place recipient, creates sculptures that are portraits of family and friends. Informed by his own Middle-Eastern heritage, his work is surfaced in reclaimed wood mosaic, inspired by the intricate wood intarsia technique from Damascus, Syria. @michael.ferris.sculpture “
