 
There is always more than first meets the
eye in my work. In it's amazing natural forms the stone itself
tells a story, which takes millions of years to unfold. In
conjunction with shape, shadows, light and imagery, each material
add to the overall work. By posing simple questions while
beholding a complex storyline, each layer is a new chapter.
Through simplistic yet strong images I strive to pose questions
that many of us can relate to in our daily lives. After both
physical and mental examination, I want to draw viewers into
each layer, their relationships to one another, and the question
at hand.
BIOGRAPHY:
Michael Gasch began his experimentations
with mosaics twelve years ago. Inspired by his Italian heritage,
an extensive background in the trades, and a passion for fine
art, Michael has embarked on a new approach to architectural
art. Over the years he has expanded on traditional mosaic
techniques to create a variety of new techniques that have
enabled him to put forth a wide range of projects using an
even wider range of materials. Michael creates a variety of
works with the mindset of both artist and craftsman, allowing
him to fully understand all aspects of each project. Architectural
works and fine art mosaic wall hangings provide the bulk of
the projects done in Michael's studio, Gasch Design.
Michael began his fascination with stone
and durable materials through travel and adventure. This immersion
into the natural environment and a hands-on relationship with
traditional mosaic materials fuels Michael's passion for architectural
mosaics of all types.
