Michelle’s work explores how we make sense of ourselves, one another, and the systems we inhabit. Through sculpture, installation, and object-making, she investigates themes of perception, connection, value, power, and care. She is drawn to materials and images that carry both humor and complexity, using metaphor as a way to engage difficult questions with openness and curiosity.
Michelle sees art as a space for reflection, disruption, and discovery. Whether rooted in personal experience or collective concerns, her work invites viewers to reconsider familiar assumptions and imagine new ways of seeing and relating.

Aaron Thornburg works at the intersection of architecture, sculpture, and making. His practice explores how space influences perception, behavior, and connection, creating projects that invite movement, curiosity, and engagement. Drawing from experience in public art, fabrication, and architectural design, he approaches each project as an opportunity to translate ideas into meaningful built experiences.
From large-scale installations and public commissions to architecture and furniture, his work is grounded in a belief that thoughtful design can transform how we experience the world and one another.
