Mike lives in New Zealand and graduated with a Fine Arts Degree and the Sculpture Prize in 1997.
His work over the last decade or so has evolved into photographically creating partially plausible truths; proposing new possibilities for the toys and models of childhood play.
Most recently it has evolved to constructing and painting plastic kitsets with a war theme, a guilty pleasure revisited.
