Michael Turner is best known for his experimentation with metal and welding techniques and is famous for his sculptures using stainless steel as it an enduring and adaptable media to use. The reflection off the stainless steel gives the effect of shimmering colour which really is effective on a creature sculpture like the dragonfly. This media also suits and moulds well to the block shapes that insects are made up from. One of the most striking parts of his sculptures is the dragonfly wings and how he has created a metal mesh to give a transparent effect through the holes in the metal.
