American, b. 1982 — Michael Watson is a New York based, Filipino American multidisciplinary artist. His process-based paintings, sculptures, and installations embrace destructive and regenerative processes. He relies on experimental modes of production such as improvisation, destabilization and chance. He engages with found objects and natural materials such as plywood, rice and fire to produce his works. Watson explores the interstices of being, substance and imperceptibility through the use of rice and other materials as a substitute for the human body. Watson's individual and collaborative work has been exhibited throughout the US including the Greenville Museum of Art (2021 - present), stART Space Gallery, Manchester Center, VT (2018 -2019), Gowanus Dredgers, Brooklyn, NY (2018), LaBodega Gallery, NY (2018), Hunterdon Art Museum, NJ (2017), Sheila C.
