There’s something about Michelle Reader’s artwork that sneaks up on the viewer — on the surface, her aesthetic is not too far off from most ‘outsider’ artists who frantically cobble together sculptures of cute animals out of found junk.

The roughness of the actual objects she makes seems to intentionally obscure the startling beauty of her pieces that only reveals itself after a few moments.
