Michael Dorang

Michael has been playing with different art types all his life but it was when he found clay that he found his medium. The combinations of earth, water, and fire appeal to him on a primal level. Michael aspires to create pieces that combine form and function with unusual and playful finishes. Each of his pieces is unique and different. This has also lead Michael to explore jewelry making using natural elements such as clay, stone, shell and glass to create fun and unique pieces.

Mutti Art Projects - featuring Landon Speers

About the gallery:

mutti – pronounced /ˈmʊti/ – the affectionate term for mother.

mutti is a contemporary “apartment” gallery in the city of Toronto that offers viable alternatives to see and collect art outside of white cube gallery spaces.

Digitally we curate objects, spaces and places of desire and physically we exhibit mixed-media, lens-based and illustrative artists we’ve come to know and love. We welcome creators from emerging to mid-career and encourage collaborative projects and presentations.

Exhibition 002 : Wild Rose

Mutti Art Projects is proud to present Canadian-born, New York-based artist Landon Speers. Speers brings his visual and musical practices together with the release of ‘Wild Rose’, a book of original photography with an accompanying album of ambient compositions.

Exploring beauty in states of growth and decay, the landscapes of Wild Rose are captured with an approach akin to portraiture. Time is the hidden subject emerging from geological formations and inhabited spaces, momentarily absent of humans. An intimate sense of life long lived in these environments lies beneath the surface of every image with a spectral glow. Focused on nature’s simple gestures even in the least likely of places, Wild Rose suggests a new relationship with our surroundings and an appreciation for our world’s infinite details.
