Michael (Muki) Baum was born deaf and with cerebral palsy. At 5 months, his parents were told by doctors, “He will be a piece of meat you will carry with you all your life - put him in an institution.” Fortunately, his parents had the foresight to refuse this analysis and provided their son with opportunities to articulate his unique abilities. The photos of clay sculptures featured above are evidence of Muki’s vastly expressive qualities.
This is true of all whose work is on display at the Inner Treasures Outer Expressions art exhibition. The images, emotions and ideas contained in all of these pieces are wordless stories directly from the artist.
MukiBaum’s Inner Treasures Outer Expressions runs until May 31st
