The latest issue arrived yesterday and there is a beautiful display of our own Michael Anderson's work on the inside of the front cover. As we all know, his work is wonderful, and it's great to see him receive this acknowledgement. Even more impressive to me, though, is that all of the varied pieces are from this past year. Usually, in spreads like this the work is more uniform and comes from a 4-5 year span. Michael is not only creative and skilled, he's also prolific. Also, when a turner reaches this level of accomplishment, they often have a defined series or style of pieces for which they are known. Not so with Michael--the work is imaginative and each pieces seems unique. Fantastic work, Michael, and well deserved recognition. BTW, Michael will be demonstrating at the Rocky Mountain Symposium this fall. (Rereading this, I sound like his agent or something. Nope, just an admirer.)
