Michael Rank

Michael Rank's assertive geometric forms, found in his towering sculptures, speak of empathetic design and organic fluidity inherent to wood works. These objects surprise and flow in a manner that challenges our preconceived notions of how wood, as a rigid material, should act—hence, defying and stretching the limits of categorization. Rank's six coopered wood sculptures play with gravity, and in doing so invite light and shadow into their dance as well. Their movement inspires our own, and allows us to experience the same work from a number of positions and perspectives. 

Michael is originally from Kansas. After college he took a job with Architectural Woodworking Company in Salt Lake City. He is now a lead project manager and wood crafter.
