About Michael Schuessler’s Process
As I begin new work, I start with a blessing, giving thanks for the creativity that resides and flows though me. I then create the stretchers/frames, “The Bones” of the canvas. Hand building, sanding and sizing them, having a 2” reveal on the sides so that when I apply the High grade Blemish free canvas or “Skin” over the frames it’s creating depth even before any color is applied. Then I apply the color or “Spirit” and the movement, “The Energy” over the face and around the sides, this allows for a more expansive feel to the work. So there is no confinement or restriction felt when viewing the work from any direction. A 3- dimensional body with the breath of life & light infused within.
