Growing Back

This blog documents my continuing interest in the aestheticization of labor and craft. I am using my family's ex-farm as the focal point of this research.

About Me

My photo
Michael Waugh
I am a Brooklyn-based artist with historical ties to southeastern Massachusetts. My work spans several disciplines: I make drawings, sculpture, installation, and video. I tie these things together through historical research and social practice. For instance, while I was working on a series of dog drawings, I volunteered at a local animal shelter. And now, while I am working with rowing and boats, I am volunteering at a non-profit environmental organization that works to preserve Buzzards Bay -- and I'm learning to row with a non-profit rowing club. My approach to social practice is not that an artist has anything more to offer than anyone else. I don't think that artists have some special, outsider magic that can be brought to bear on a situation. I simply volunteer my time like anyone else. I ask what is needed. I work. And I learn.
