Michael (Mike) Donohue is a fibre, crochet artist with a deep-seated reverence for the natural world. His work centers around a profound fascination with florals and how we interact with our environment.
The organic nature of crochet is ideally suited to the growth and development of petals, stems, vines, and leaves; and each stitch is a breath of life into his creations. Freeform crochet – crochet without the use of any pattern – is a continually evolving and growing, organic process.
His artistic journey is an ongoing exploration of techniques, textures, and colours that translate into tactile, handcrafted pieces. Each one a unique reflection of his personal interpretation of and emotional connection to the floral subject.
