I’ve got a lot of respect for Matthew and for full disclosure I’m entirely biased because I live with him. This is a new collection of work that was part of a recent mini show, Blood and Salt Water, at the Working Room galleries.
These pieces go beyond a simple correlation involving his love of diving and underwater life to inhabit the world of the petrie dish as well as representing organic and crystalline structures. Everytime I go into the studio to see the now vast series I discover a new favourite and at Matthew’s tireless production rate of one or more a day since the new year it’s an endless restructuring of favourites. He’s just hit the 100 mark and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
