Michael Richard Thron (born 1990) in Stamford CT, currently is an MFA Graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park and received his BFA from Syracuse University. His practice investigates materiality, entropy, and negative space as a material and tangible component. Through gathering, manipulation, and replication his work acts as a conduit to examine the evolution of the self, exploring this through sculpture. He is a reward recipient of The Mid-Atlantic Sculpture Prize and Daniel Ohlke Award as well has been a resident artist at Salem Art Works and has exhibited in the US and abroad.
