Hi, I'm Matt

I’m an artist and designer whose practice is based in experimentation which often leads to unexpected outcomes.

Working typically across drawing, photography and painting, I am more interested in where the process takes me, rather than the final outcome. I establish a set of rules and then observe how time, materials, and chance shape the final work. I like to be as surprised by the final piece as any other observer might be.

I studied creative arts at university and work as a designer for digital products. Professionally, my design principles are influenced by the clarity and restraint of the Bauhaus movement and Dieter Rams' philosophy that ‘good design is as little design as possible,’ whereas my artwork provides a complete counterbalance to this. It embraces complexity, ambiguity and abstraction, creating space for curiosity and chaos rather than certainty.

Across all of my work is a simple question: what happens if I let the process lead? The answer is rarely predictable, and exploring that uncertainty continues to drive my practice.
