Matt's drawings are more than an exploration, a re-ordering or even a proposal to creating and manipulating known forms of life. Initially imagery is derived from a variety of reference material that utilizes the language of medical, anatomical, botanical, geometrical and diagrammatical publications (ancient to modern works), yet I am always proposing something far more liberated and fantastical. Through the accumulation of the fundamental parts, in conjunction with the ‘magical elements’ these connect and animate a living organism. The ideas involved contain a certain breed of logic between the contrasting elements, plant, human anatomy, lines, forces, accidents both aesthetically and conceptually.
